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've been using the Himalaya neem face pack and every time I apply it, my skin burns. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

After applying Himalaya Neem Face Pack, if you experience a burning sensation, it could be due to sensitivity to one of the ingredients in the face pack. I recommend trying a patch test before applying it to your face next time. If the burning sensation persists, you can try using a soothing cream like Calamine lotion to calm the irritation.
