I'm dealing with a situation where I had corns on my toes because of my footwear, and I used salactin paint to try and fix it. While the corns have settled down a bit, I accidentally put some of the salactin on my normal skin, and now it's more damaged than the corns were. I've been trying to rub off the affected skin but haven't had any luck, and it's been almost a month now. What should I do?

I have rosacea and every time I use Sebonac gel it really irritates my eyes. But if I stop using it, my skin just gets worse. Do you have any other alternatives I could try? I'm a bit worried and could really use some advice.

I've noticed this pimple about 2 inches below my belly button and I'm kind of worried about what it could be. I'm including a photo as well. Any idea what might be going on?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I've been noticing these random itchy swellings all over my body, like they can pop up anywhere from my head to my legs, even my lips sometimes. It got me thinking if it might have something to do with eating oily foods, because that's when it seems to happen more. I've been taking cetirizine or other antiallergics to make the swelling go away, but I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what could be causing this. Could it really be linked to my diet, or is there something else going on here?

You can take it daily to help manage and prevent these allergic reactions. Additionally, try to identify and avoid the specific oily foods that may be causing these reactions.
