I'm hoping to get some advice on using erytop cream for my acne. Should I be applying it in the morning or at night? Also, I'm 22 and just a bit concerned about any side effects if I use it for a long time. What's your take on that?

For acne treatment with Erytop cream, it is usually recommended to apply it at night before bedtime. Cleanse your face before applying a thin layer of Erytop cream on the affected areas. As for long term use, Erytop cream may cause side effects such as dryness, redness, peeling, or irritation of the skin. It is important to use a good moisturizer and sunscreen during the day while using Erytop cream to minimize these side effects.

I'm really confused about something. Every time I drink alcohol or eat non-veg food, the area with my fungal infection gets super itchy and red. My doctor said alcohol isnt the cause, but I've heard from people that it might mean there's something wrong with my liver. Could that be true? What should I do about it?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
