I'm a bit worried because I've been using Minoz OD 100 for quite a while to deal with my acne breakouts. It seems to help, but now I'm considering stopping it. Is it okay to do that, or should I be cautious about anything?

I'm really concerned about the long-term use of Skinlite cream. I've been using it regularly and I'm worried if it could potentially cause skin cancer. Should I keep using it or is it something that could be risky for my skin health?

This cream contains steroid. It should only be used under the supervision of a qualified dermatologist. Overuse of steroids can have lasting side effects.

I've been dealing with these round-shaped rashes that itch in some spots for about three weeks now. I already saw a dermatologist and tried the medication they recommended, but it still hasnt cleared up. Should I be worried that its taking this long to go away? Do you think I should get a second opinion or try a different treatment?

It seems like you are experiencing a persistent rash with itching sensation. Since the medication prescribed by the dermatologist did not provide relief, I recommend trying a different approach. You can try using a combination of hydrocortisone cream and antihistamine such as Cetirizine. Apply the hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas and take Cetirizine 10mg once daily for relief from itching. Make sure to follow this regimen for at least a week and see if there is any improvement in your symptoms.
