I'm trying to figure out the best time to apply Candid clotrimazole cream for treating Tinea versicolor around my shoulder and chest. Is it better to use it before or after a shower, before sleeping, or maybe early in the morning before sunlight? Also, I've been taking one Fole 150 tablet every week for the past five weeks without using any creams or lotions. Should I keep taking Fole 150 tablets, or is it time to stop now?

I've been using Santoor soap, but my skin just isn't glowing like I want it to. Could you recommend the best whitening or fairness soap for someone with oily skin? I'm really looking for something that can work wonders for me.

For oily skin and skin whitening, I recommend using Kojie San Skin Lightening Soap. It contains kojic acid which helps in skin whitening and brightening. Use it twice a day for best results.

I've been using Persol Forte cream for my acne, and I've noticed that while my acne has reduced, the areas where it was have now become darker. Should I keep using the cream, or is it better to stop? Any recommendations for a cream that can help with the dark spots?

Cream: *Stop Usage* 1. Discontinue Persol Forte Cream. 2. Consult a dermatologist for alternative treatments. *Treat Dark Spots* 1. Kojic acid cream 2. Hydroquinone cream (under dermatological guidance) 3. Retinoid cream 4. Niacinamide cream *Additional Tips* 1. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+). 2. Consider chemical peels or microdermabrasion.

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed a pimple-like thing on my scrotum sack. It's not painful or itchy, but it's been there for over three weeks now, and I think there's a sign that another one might be appearing. What do you think this could be? Should I be worried or get it checked out?
