I'm dealing with acne and my doctor originally prescribed me Azax 500 mg, but it was out of stock at the pharmacy, so they gave me Azicip 500 mg instead. Is this an appropriate substitute for what the doctor recommended?

I'm a bit worried because I've been using Panderm Plus cream for about 3 years and decided to stop recently, but now I'm experiencing some side effects. There's this itching and my skin just feels really dry. I'm curious if there's anything specific I can do about it? Are there any tablets or remedies youd recommend to help me get rid of this problem? Would love some advice on how to handle this situation.

I've noticed that my inner thighs have gotten pretty dark and rough lately, and I think it's because of a buildup of dead skin cells. It's really bothering me. Could you tell me what's the best way to get rid of them and improve the skin in that area?

That could be Fungal infection, maintain personal hygiene and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
