I'm dealing with some dark spots on my face, and my dermatologist recommended glycolic acid for it. But now, every time I apply the cream, my face feels a bit itchy. Should I be worried and stop using it, or is that normal?

I have this really bad fungal infection on the head of my penis. I used undiluted Dettol to wash it a couple of times, and now it's burned my skin pretty badly. The skin's peeling off, and I'm noticing some rashes now. Could you please give me some advice on what to do?
Using undiluted Dettol on sensitive skin can cause severe irritation, burns, and peeling. Immediate Care 1. Stop using Dettol: Immediately discontinue using Dettol or any other harsh soap on the affected area. 2. Clean the area gently: Wash the penis head with mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel. 3. Apply a topical antibiotic cream: Over-the-counter (OTC) creams like Neosporin or Bacitracin can help prevent infection and promote healing. 4. Use a soothing cream: Apply a cream or gel containing aloe vera, hydrocortisone, or calamine to help soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. Treatment for Fungal Infection 1. Antifungal creams: OTC creams like clotrimazole (Candid-B) or miconazole (Micatin) can help treat fungal infections. 2. Oral antifungal medications: If the infection is severe or persistent, your doctor may prescribe oral antifungal medications like fluconazole (Diflucan). Managing Rashes and Peeling Skin 1. Topical corticosteroids: OTC creams or ointments containing hydrocortisone can help reduce inflammation and itching. 2. Moisturize: Apply a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer to help soothe and hydrate the skin.

I've been dealing with a stubborn fungal infection in the lower part of my body. I visited my village doctor and he suggested I take LAZINE tablets, PREDMET 16 mg, and use CLOBIKEM GM ointment. It's been a week, but I'm still not seeing much improvement. Can you help me figure out what to do next?
Stop Using those,they are harmful and not appropriate,visit Dermatologist for proper care
