I'm wondering if I can use Dewsoft cream alongside Acnetor AD for the pimples on my face. I'm dealing with quite a few, and I'm not sure if mixing these treatments is a good idea. Any advice on this?

Acne can be treated easily with facewash, tablets and creams. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated

I'm dealing with these really itchy rashes on my thighs and groin area, but thankfully my penis isn't affected. It's really uncomfortable because it chafes, bleeds, and itches so badly that I'm scratching constantly, both day and night. I can't even sleep since I can't resist the urge to scratch. What's worrying me is that it's starting to spread to my buttocks too. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?
