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.

View allI'm getting pimples right after sex and they're all over my face. When I stop having sex, my skin gets better but I'm really bothered by the marks left behind. I'm scared to have sex because of these breakouts. What's going on and what can I do about it?
This could be due to hormonal changes or increased sweating during sexual activity leading to clogged pores. I recommend using a topical acne medication containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser like "Cetaphil" twice a day to keep your face clean. Make sure to also drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet to support skin health.

I've been dealing with itchy testicles for a year now, and it's really getting worse. I make sure to clean my genital area daily, but it tends to be dry. I've tried everythingaloe moisturizers, Vera gel, soframycin oilbut nothing seems to work for long. I get some temporary relief, but the itching is really bad at midnight, early morning, or after going to the office gym. Can you suggest any medicine or ointment that might help with this?
For persistent testicular itchiness, consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist to rule out underlying conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or fungal infections; in the meantime, try applying a hydrocortisone cream (1%) or an antifungal cream like clotrimazole, and maintain good genital hygiene, avoiding harsh soaps and wearing breathable clothing, and if the issue persists, your doctor may prescribe stronger topical or oral medications.
