I'm dealing with a herpes issue around my private area, and I've been using Betnovate and Soframycin creams. I'm not sure if they're helping, though, since it feels like it's spreading. How can I properly address this and find a cure?

View allI've been using this rejuglow vitamin C serum for the last couple of months, and it really helped my skin glow. But out of nowhere, in the past 10 days, I'm noticing that my skin looks a bit brownish. I don't spend a lot of time in the sun, so I'm puzzled about what could be causing this change. Any ideas?
Dermat opinion.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had a foot corn and used a corn cap, then cleaned it with Dettol for about 45 days, which seemed to burn her skin pretty bad. We went to a dermatologist who prescribed omnacortil 40mg. I read online that this medicine should show effects in about an hour, but she's not feeling any improvement. Her hands and foot look burnt, they're itchy, and she can't fold her fingers because they're swollen. She's also taking augmentin 625mg three times a day. How long does it usually take for the steroid to start working, and when might she start getting better? It's really concerning.
Omnacortil 40mg (Prednisolone)_ 1. *Onset of action*: 1-2 hours, but peak effects may take 4-6 hours. 2. *Expected improvement*: Within 24-48 hours, but full recovery may take 7-10 days. _Augmentin 625mg_ 1. *Antibiotic effects*: Should start showing improvement within 2-3 days. _Current Situation_ 1. *Severe skin reaction*: Dettol can be harsh on skin, causing burns and irritation. 2. *Steroid treatment*: Omnacortil should help reduce inflammation and swelling. 3. *Antibiotic treatment*: Augmentin should help prevent infection.
