I'm a bit concerned because I recently swallowed my boyfriend's semen, and I've heard mixed things about it affecting the skin. Does swallowing semen really cause acne or breakouts, or could it possibly help with acne issues? I'm just curious and a little worried about how it might impact my skin.

I've got this dry, light brown patch under my eye, and the doctor suggested using fusidic acid and mometasone furoate cream. I'm a bit worried because my skin is really sensitive. Could this cream cause any additional problems? I've read some reviews and just want to make sure it's safe for me.

do not use that cream without doctors advice as it contains steroid,consume,vit B supplements and mineral rich foods taht would help you and also visit dermatologist for appropriate management
