I'm currently on acutret tablets for my pimples and I've been following my doctor's advice by not using any other creams except what he prescribed. I had an office event and used a foundation just for that day, and now I'm noticing more pimples. I'm getting nervous because my wedding is in December. Could using that other cream just once really cause this increase in pimples? Can you help me understand what's happening?

Applying foundation cream while using Acutret tablets may have clogged pores, triggered hormonal fluctuations, or irritated your skin, leading to increased pimples; however, it's essential to consult your doctor or dermatologist to determine the exact cause and adjust your skincare routine to ensure your skin clears up before your wedding in December.

I'm constantly washing my penis, but the skin on the tip is still cracked. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

washing it frequently would make it dry and lack of moist, wash it when you take bath and that's enough,if it is causing symptoms like pain or burning sensation visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm really worried about my maid because she's been using this dermikem oc cream for like two years now. She wants to stop using it, but every time she tries, her face gets all rashy and super itchy. What can we do about this?

Dermikem OC cream is a topical corticosteroid cream used to treat various skin conditions, including eczema, dermatitis, and allergies. Long-term use of corticosteroid creams can lead to dependence, and stopping their use abruptly can cause withdrawal symptoms, consult dermatologist he will taper the dose
