I'm a bit confused about how to use the acnewar gel that my doctor prescribed. Should I wash my face with water after applying the gel and then use the face wash my doctor recommended? Or do I just use the face wash directly after putting on the acnewar gel? I'm not really sure what the correct order is.

When using Acnewar gel and a prescribed face wash, follow this order:

Apply Acnewar gel: Directly apply a thin layer of Acnewar gel to the affected areas.

Wait for 15-30 minutes: Allow the gel to absorb and work on the acne.

Wash your face with the prescribed face wash: Use lukewarm water and a small amount of face wash to cleanse your face.

Rinse thoroughly: Rinse your face with lukewarm water to remove all residue.

Do not mix Acnewar gel with the face wash. Apply the gel first, wait, and then wash your face with the prescribed face wash.

I've got a bit of a problem with eczema on my scrotum and my dermatologist told me to use Mometasone Furoate Cream IP ELOCON every night. But when I looked it up, I read that it shouldn't be used on the groin area. It hurt a little at first but seemed to get better after that. I'm just really concerned and wondering if it's okay to keep using this cream. Could it affect sperm production since Im applying it directly on the scrotum? I'm pretty worried about this.

Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .
