I'm curious about the difference between the gel and solution forms of this chemical. Is it true that doctors use the solution for peeling? I'm wondering if its stronger or more effective than the gel. Could you shed some light on this?

I'm really concerned about my wife's skin. Before we got married, she had such clear skin, but just a month after the wedding, she started breaking out with acne. It's gotten so bad that it's really affecting her mood, making her feel depressed. We've already seen a couple of dermatologists, but nothing seems to help. We even went to a gynecologist, and they mentioned it might be due to hormonal imbalance. We're feeling pretty lost right now. Any advice on what we could do next?
The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated

I'm trying to figure out whether I should use Neosporin powder or a Betadine tube for treating wounds on the knees and elbows from falling on the road. I know Betadine is used with dressing, which can be so sticky and painful when changing it. On the other hand, I've heard Neosporin powder is just sprinkled over the wound. Could you help me decide which might be better?
For road fall wounds on the knees and elbows, both Neosporin and Betadine can be effective, but Neosporin powder may be more suitable for open wounds as it helps prevent infection without sticking. Betadine can be used for cleaning, but it might be painful to remove due to its adhesive nature. It's important to apply a clean dressing to reduce pain during redressing.
