I'm noticing some black spots on my face and a doctor recommended I try using dermiford cream. I'm really curious if this is the right thing to do for my skin. Do you think it's okay to use it?

I've been dealing with Tinea Cruris near my crotch, and it's finally cured, but before I saw a dermatologist, someone advised me to use Betnovate. Now, I've noticed that it's caused some thinning of my skin. Is there anything I can do to help with that?

Betnovate (betamethasone) can cause skin thinning (atrophy) with prolonged use. _Reversing Skin Thinning_ 1. _Stop using Betnovate_: Discontinue use to prevent further skin thinning. 2. _Moisturize_: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to hydrate the skin. 3. _Topical creams_: Apply creams containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or niacinamide to help restore skin thickness. 4. _Avoid further irritation_: Refrain from scratching or using harsh products on the affected area. 5. _Consult a dermatologist_: Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor progress and adjust treatment if necessary.

I've been noticing a bit of a damp feeling in my butt crack lately, even though there's not much sweat, just a slight moisture. It's got me curious because whenever I check, I catch a natural, musky smell that disappears in a couple of seconds. This happens every time, and it seems to be coming from the length of my butt crack. Do we have glands in that area that could cause this? Could it be from sitting too long? It's kind of worrying me, and I'd love to know if it's just natural.

The musky smell you're experiencing in your anal region is likely due to the presence of apocrine glands, which are sweat glands located in the genital and anal areas that produce a protein-rich secretion, which, when broken down by bacteria, can cause a strong, natural, and musky odor, especially when you're wearing tight clothing or sitting for long hours.

I'm dealing with pimples and these small holes on my face. I talked to a dermatologist, and they suggested Adapalene gel and Opexa gel. I've been using the Adapalene gel, and it's helping with the pimples, but the holes aren't getting any better. I haven't started using the Opexa gel yet. Should I try it out to see if it helps with those holes?
