I'm really concerned about the pimples I get just before my menstruationthey used to go away but now they're kind of a constant thing. I've been trying to avoid junk food and sugar, and I'm using calamine and a salicylic acid face wash, but they just won't clear up. Recently, I've been getting these large pimples on my cheeks that swell up but don't really hurt. After a few days, they form a head and start leaking pus and blood. Could this be a sign of type 2 diabetes?

I'm thinking about using a derma roller for my face, but I'm not entirely sure how to properly sanitize it. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Dettol or Savlon to clean it. Could you walk me through the sanitizing process? I'm a bit worried about making sure it's safe to use on my skin.
While Dettol or Savlon can be used to sanitize a derma roller, a more recommended approach is to soak the derma roller in a mixture of 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or ethanol for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with sterile or distilled water, and let air-dry; this method is gentler on the needles and more effective against bacteria and other microorganisms.

I'm trying to decide between Dermadew Lite Soap and Dermadew Soap for improving my skin fairness. I've heard both are good, but I'm not sure which would be better for men's skin. Can you help me figure out which one to go with for the best results?
Both Dermadew Soap and Dermadew Lite Soap are good for maintaining skin health and improving complexion. However, if you are specifically looking for a soap that helps with fairness, Dermadew Lite Soap would be more suitable. It contains ingredients that help in brightening the skin and improving complexion. You can use Dermadew Lite Soap twice daily for best results.
