I'm really curious about azelaic acid. Does it actually help with both active acne and the reddish-brown spots that are left after acne? I'm looking for something that can tackle both issues, and I'm wondering if this might be it.

I've been using Panderm plus cream for the last six months, and it made my skin really fair. But now I'm starting to get a lot of pimples on my face. I'm worried because I read somewhere online that using Panderm plus for too long can make your skin permanently sensitive to the sun. Do you think my face will clear up and become pimple-free again?

Panderm plus cream contains clobetasol, neomycin, and miconazole. Prolonged use of clobetasol can lead to skin thinning, acne, and increased sensitivity to the sun. To treat the pimples on your face, you can use a gentle cleanser and apply a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. You can also consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my skin after using No Scar cream. I'm experiencing some side effects, and it's making me anxious. How long does it usually take for the skin to get back to normal and regain its usual appearance after such issues?

It is difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for the skin to return to its previous appearance after experiencing side effects from a no scar cream. The time frame can vary depending on the individual's skin type, the severity of the side effects, and how the skin responds to treatment. However, you can consider using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to help soothe the skin and promote healing.

I'm dealing with an ongoing itch and redness around my ball sack area and between my thighs. It's been bugging me for two months, and I think it might be a fungal infection. I'm really concerned as it seems to be getting worse. Could this be something serious? Any advice would be great.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like panderm, quadriderm, dermi 5, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.
