I'm really worried because I accidentally spilled boiling milk on my right palm and fingers. Ive been in so much pain despite keeping it in cold water for 30 minutes. I even used some silverex silver nitrate gel, but the burning just isn't going away. There aren't any blisters or peeling skin, but it seems to be swollen. Can you help me figure out what to do next?

I've been dealing with this frustrating issue of having large, dry pimples mostly on the left side of my face. They sometimes hurt a bit if I press on them, and they're pretty stubbornthey never really go away completely and seem to come back over and over, taking ages to heal. I keep my face clean with face washes and mild soaps, and I don't usually use any creams or moisturizers. My job keeps me indoors, so I'm not really exposed to things like sun or pollution. I've been using Surfaz SN cream, which worked before but now doesn't seem to do much. Do you have any suggestions for creams or skin lotions that could help clear up my skin?
Seems like you are dealing with persistent acne on the left side of your face. Since Surfaz SN cream is no longer effective, I recommend trying a combination treatment. You can use a combination of Clindamycin gel in the morning and Adapalene gel at night. Apply a thin layer of Clindamycin gel in the morning after washing your face, and then apply Adapalene gel at night before bedtime. Make sure to use a sunscreen during the day as these medications can increase sensitivity to the sun. Additionally, continue with your good hygiene practices and consider incorporating a gentle moisturizer into your routine to prevent dryness. If the acne persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm using DermaDew Bact soap to help with my acne. I'm wondering if using it might somehow slow down or interfere with my beard growth. Is that something I should be concerned about, or is it generally safe to use without affecting facial hair development?
DermaDew Bact soap is an antibacterial soap used to control acne. _Impact on Beard Growth_ 1. _No direct effect_: DermaDew Bact soap is unlikely to directly inhibit beard growth. 2. _Indirect effect_: The soap's antibacterial properties might reduce inflammation and prevent ingrown hairs, potentially promoting a healthier beard growth environment. _Key Ingredients_ 1. _Benzoyl peroxide_ (2.5%): Antibacterial agent that reduces acne-causing bacteria. 2. _Triclosan_: Antibacterial agent that helps control bacterial growth. _Precautions_ 1. _Use as directed_: Follow the product instructions for use. 2. _Avoid overuse_: Excessive use can lead to dryness and irritation. 3. _Patch test_: Perform a patch test before using the soap on your face or beard area.
