I'm dealing with Grade 1 acne around my chin, jawline, and cheeks. I'm using Clindac A1 gel in the morning for a couple of hours and Deriva Cms Gel at night, also for a few hours before washing it off. The doctor also put me on Doxy 1 ldr forte, 100 mg, twice a day for 10 days. I'm really hoping to get rid of this acne completely. Could you tell me how long it might take, and if there's a chance this will leave any scars?

Can I use Candid B cream for my 4-and-a-half-year-old daughter's small ringworm on her back and face? Is it safe, or should I try using fusidic cream instead? I'm just worried and want to make sure it's okay.

Don't use Candid B cream or Fusidic cream without consulting a pediatrician. For ringworm, a pediatrician may recommend antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole. Consult a pediatrician to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best treatment option for your child.

I've been struggling with a pretty bad face burn, and now my skin's turning really dark and blackish. I've tried using Hydroheal cream when it first happened and then switched to coconut oil. But I'm worried because it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Is there anything else I should be doing to help my skin recover?
