I'm really struggling with my oily skin. My face is constantly breaking out, especially with pimples on my chin and blackheads on my nose. It gets worse right before or during my periods. I always seem to get at least one or two painful pimples that start reddish, then they turn yellowish with pus. They leave marks on my skin when they eventually go away. Its really frustrating and I dont know what to do. Can you give me any advice?

I had chicken pox a couple of months back, and now I've noticed my scalp is really dry. Just today, I lost several hairs from the area where the pox marks were. I'm worried if the skin will eventually regenerate hair in that spot. Could this be a long-term issue?

yes

I'm dealing with some pretty uncomfortable redness around my buttock area, and it's been causing quite a bit of itching and pain, especially when I sit down or if there's any rubbing. I've been using this candidb cream for about 20 days, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. What else can I do to get some relief or maybe even get rid of this issue? Any advice would really help.

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection in the buttock area. Since Candid-B cream has not been effective, I recommend trying a combination antifungal and steroid cream such as Lotriderm cream. Apply a thin layer of Lotriderm cream to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid tight underwear to help with the healing process.
