I've been using this cream for about 2 months now and I've noticed quite a few changes in my skin. It seems to have completely taken care of the tan and any blocked skin on my face, which makes me really happy when I look in the mirror. But I was wondering, could there be any side effects from using this cream continuously?

- using any cream continuously for a long period can sometimes cause irritation or sensitivity. I recommend taking breaks or consulting a dermatologist to ensure it's safe for your skin in the long run.

I'm dealing with these recurrent foda in my armpit and they last a few days each time. It's really painful, and I'm not sure what to do to make it stop happening. Any advice on how to treat this?

To help treat this condition, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and apply it to the affected area twice a day after cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. If the boils persist or worsen, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation and possibly a prescription for oral antibiotics.

I'm just trying to understand if there's a connection here or if I should be doing something different.

masturbation does not related with hair growth
