I'm having trouble finding Dipsalic F ointment at medical stores since they said it's not being made anymore. I've been using it for an allergic reaction, and nothing else I've tried is as effective. Can you suggest the best substitute for this ointment? I'm really concerned about finding something that works as well.

Since Dipsalic F ointment is unavailable, I'll suggest some alternatives with similar ingredients:

Alternatives with Salicylic Acid and Urea

Ursal 10% Ointment: Contains urea (10%) and salicylic acid (3%).

Keralyt 5% Gel: Has salicylic acid (5%) and urea (10%).

Salex 6% Cream: Contains salicylic acid (6%) and might be suitable for allergic areas.

Other Options

CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser: A gentle cleanser with salicylic acid (2%) and hyaluronic acid.

Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream: A rich moisturizer with urea (10%) and ceramides

I've been dealing with pimples on my face and my doctor has put me on some antibacterial meds and aziderm. I'm getting married in 30 days and I'm really worried about the black spots left on my face. My pre-bridal skincare sessions have just kicked off and I'm wondering if it's safe to use aziderm now. Do facials make things worse though? Any advice would be really helpful.

You can continue that cream ni problem it's safe and helpful, regarding facials,it depends on how sensitive your skin is, usually it's safe no issues.
