I'm dealing with acne and scars on my back and it's really frustrating. My doctor recommended Acnesol, but a few months back I tried Persol Forte and it worked better than Acnesol. The problem is that the acne comes back after I stop using it. Right now, I've gone back to using Acnesol. What should I do to finally get rid of this acne for good?

Continue using Acnesol as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you can incorporate Persol Forte back into your skincare routine for better results. Apply Persol Forte once daily on the affected areas after washing your back thoroughly. Make sure to follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness. In addition to these topical treatments, consider using a body wash containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to cleanse your back. This can help prevent new acne breakouts.

I'm dealing with this constant pinching and sensation under my right armpit that even extends to my right chest area. It's been going on for months and no matter what I do, it just doesn't seem to go away. I'm really worried and can't figure out what's causing it. Any advice on what this might be and what steps I should take?

probably due to nerve irritation, muscle strain, or lymph node involvement. Since the issue has been ongoing for months, its essential to consult a doctor for a detailed evaluation. Early diagnosis can rule out serious causes like tumors or systemic conditions and help provide effective treatment

I've been noticing a white layer forming on the head of my penis, and it feels pretty dry under the foreskin. When I try to pull the skin back, it sticks a bit. A few months ago, I was treated for a fungal infection, and I thought it had cleared up, but now I'm not so sure. Could this be a sign that I have diabetes?

You may be experiencing a recurrence of a fungal infection. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. As for diabetes, the presence of a fungal infection does not necessarily mean you have diabetes, but it is always a good idea to get your blood sugar levels checked by a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions.
