I'm feeling a bit unsure about how to properly use the Clindac A gel and Dervia CMS gel that my doctor recommended. Could you give me some guidance on the right way to apply them, like the order or if there's a specific routine to follow? I'm just worried about not using them correctly and want to make sure I get the best results. What's the best approach here?

To use Clindac A gel, you should first wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and pat it dry. Then, apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected skin once or twice daily, as directed by your doctor. Make sure to avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. For Dervia CMS gel, you should also clean the affected area before application. Apply a small amount of the gel to the affected skin once daily, preferably in the evening. Gently massage it into the skin until it is absorbed. Both gels are for external use only.

I've noticed these blood blister-like spots on my scrotum for about 23 months now. Some of them are kinda hard, while others are softer. They arent bleeding, but I'm really worried because its embarrassing, especially socially. At first, there were only two or three, but now there are over 20. Im feeling anxious about it and its affecting my confidence. Is there any way to get rid of them, and is it something serious?

It is important to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.

I've got really sensitive and dry skin, especially with this winter weather. My T-zone is full of blackheads and it's driving me nuts. I've been using Dr. Reddy's Venusia cream and Episoft cleansing face wash, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Can you recommend a good night cream or moisturizer? I also need a scrub that works on blackheads. Plus, my entire body seems to have dead skin cells; any idea for a moisturizing body lotion or oil? My hands and feet are super dry, almost like wrinkled aged skin, and nothing I use seems to fix it, not even glycerine. Would you have any tips on how to deal with all these skin issues?

For your blackheads in the T-zone area, I recommend using a night cream containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. You can try using Differin Gel at night. Additionally, for a good scrub to help with blackheads, you can use Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub. To address the dead cells on your body, you can use a moisturizing body lotion such as Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream or Bio-Oil. These products will help hydrate your skin and improve its texture. For your dry, rough hands and feet, you can try using O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream and O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet Foot Cream. These products are specifically designed to moisturize and repair dry, cracked skin. In addition to using these products, make sure to drink plenty of water, eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and protect your skin from harsh weather conditions. Regularly exfoliating and moisturizing your skin will also help improve its overall health and appearance.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with vitiligo for five years now. I've been using topgraf ointment, malgain lotion, and taking pigmento tablets. At first, the treatment worked great and 80% of my patches were cured, but in the past year, nothing seems to work anymore. The old patches are still there and now Im even getting new ones. What's going on and what should I do? It's frustrating.
