View allI'm really stressed about the redness on my cheeks. I've tried several medications like isotretinoin 0.05, glocin gel, Vicco turmeric skin cream, benzoyl peroxide gel, clindamycin phosphate gel, and even diprovate, but nothing seems to work. I've consulted with a couple of doctors, but the redness just won't go away. Its really affecting my confidence, and to make it worse, my skin is super sensitive. Could you guide me on which of these might be the best option for me, or suggest something else that might help?
Given your sensitive skin, I recommend trying a gentle and soothing gel like "Avene Antirougeurs Calm Soothing Repair Mask". Apply a thin layer of this gel on your cheeks after cleansing your face, and leave it on for the recommended duration. This gel is specifically formulated to reduce redness and calm sensitive skin. Additionally, you can consider using a mild cleanser and moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin to help manage the redness. Remember to patch test any new product before applying it to your entire face to ensure compatibility with your skin.

I have a wart near my left eye and my doctor recommended removing it with surgery under local anesthesia as a precaution, even though it's not causing problems now. Since it's so close to my eye, is the procedure safe? Could there be any risk of nerve damage or other complications? Also, what are the chances of it coming back after removal?
Wart removal near the eye is usually safe with local anesthesia; consult an experienced surgeon to avoid nerve damage and minimize recurrence.

Can I use Keto B ointment on my scalp for itching and gaps between my hair? Is it harmful or safe to use?
Keto B ointment, containing ketoconazole, can be used for scalp itching and fungal infections, but for hair gaps, it may not be directly effective; it's generally safe when used as directed, but potential side effects include skin irritation, itching, or dryness; consult a dermatologist before using Keto B ointment on your scalp, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
