I'm dealing with a skin infection, and my doctor prescribed me Cutisoft and Peroclin. I'm a bit confused because he didn't specify if I should be using Peroclin 2.5 or Peroclin 5. How can I find out which one to use?

To clarify the prescription, I recommend calling your doctor's office or sending a message to confirm whether the prescribed Peroclin is 2.5% or 5%; alternatively, you can also check the prescription label or packaging, if available, or schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure you're using the correct medication and dosage.

I've been prescribed 5 mg of Tretiva for my acne, and I'm wondering if that's enough to keep breakouts at bay over the next 20 days. I'm nervous it might not be enough. Any insights?

I'm worried about whether mast*rbation could lead to pimples on my face. And how much time should I leave between each time I do it?

Masturbation itself doesn't directly cause pimples, but hormonal changes and lifestyle factors can contribute to acne. There's no need to worry about a specific "gap" between masturbation sessions unless you feel it's affecting your well-being. Focus on a healthy lifestyle, including a proper skincare routine and stress management, to reduce the risk of acne

I've been noticing some pigmentation on my face and it's really affecting my skin's glow. I'm wondering if I can use Xerina cream to help with the tanning issue. Has anyone else had a similar experience or could you offer some advice on whether it's safe and effective to use this cream for my situation?

You can use it but further evaluation is required to rule out cause of pigmentation,visit your Dermatologist for appropriate treatment and take well balanced diet and stay hydrated.
