I'm struggling with acne on my face, neck, chest, and back. Should I try using candid b cream for it, or would benzoyl peroxide be a better option? I'm really unsure about which one might be more effective.

I've been using this melapik cream that's based on hydroquinone. I put it on my face every night, and it's been making my skin look fairer. I'm just a bit worried, though. Are there any side effects of using this cream daily?

I've been having this constant burning sensation on the skin of my scrotum, and it's just in one spot. Everything else feels okay, but it's really bothering me because it's hard to walk, sit, or even sleep. I've tried using Suthol and some cooling powders, but it's not helping. Could you tell me what might be going on and what I should do next?

That could be microbial infection,no need to worry,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment,personal hygiene is the main stay for this to get treated.
