I'm dealing with acne on my face and my doctor had prescribed some Adaplec cream along with an antibiotic pill, but I can't remember the name of the pill and unfortunately, the doctor isn't available right now. Could someone help me figure out which antibiotic pill might have been prescribed for treating acne?

I've been reading about the Yellow Peel treatment, and I'm wondering if the effects last permanently or if they're just temporary. Can it really get rid of pigmentation on the face for good?

Effects of Yellow Peel treatment are usually temporary. It can help reduce pigmentation on the face, but the results may not be permanent. To reduce pigmentation permanently, you may consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone or tretinoin, or undergoing laser treatments such as Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.

I've been having these white patches on my scrotal area, and they're itching quite a bit. A friend mentioned it could be a fungal thing, so I tried using some anti-fungal powder. The itching's getting a bit better each day, but the white patches aren't really shrinking. What do you think I should do next?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal powder, you can also try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the white patches do not improve or if they worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
