I'm dealing with acne and was wondering if taking azithral 500mg would help clear it up. Is this a good idea or should I consider something else?

I don't recommend using Azithral 500mg tablet for acne treatment. Instead, you can try using topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. For severe cases, you may consider consulting a dermatologist who can prescribe oral medications like isotretinoin.

I've noticed a dry patch and peeling on my left scrotum, kind of like a dandruff scalp. It got worse for a bit and then stopped. Now the skin feels a bit harder, looks lighter, and has these small boils. Any idea what could be causing this?
