I'm dealing with acne on my face, and my doctor suggested using Deriva BPO. Is it alright if I use Deriva CMS instead? She also mentioned applying it and then washing it off. Won't that dry out my skin and possibly lead to more pigmentation issues?

My 6-year-old has been dealing with this reddish allergy around the mouth for a week now. I started using Pecef Duo 50 oral suspension and Allegra Fexofenadine hydrochloride suspension. Is this the right approach, or should we be trying something else? I'm pretty worried and curious about what's causing it and how best to help my child. Any advice on this would be really appreciated!
