I'm trying to figure out which acne gel would be better for me. I don't have pus-filled acne, just the common kind. Should I go for clindamycin phosphate gel or nicotinamide phosphate gel?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Both 'clindamycin phosphate gel' and 'nicotinamide phosphate gel' are commonly used for acne treatment. For common acne without pus, 'nicotinamide phosphate gel' would be a better choice. You can apply a thin layer of 'nicotinamide phosphate gel' on the affected area once daily. Remember to cleanse the skin before applying the gel for better absorption and effectiveness.

I recently got bitten by an insect they call the Nairobi fly, and now there's this blister on my skin that's turned into scabby scales. Does the whole blistering thing and scabbiness mean it's healing, or should I be worried about it? Also, after seeing my doctor, they mentioned something about an injection. Do you think this will help with the healing process, or is there something else I should be doing?
Nairobi flies don't bite, but their body releases a toxin when in contact with the skin. Secondary infection by scratching is to be avoided. See a skin specialist if needed.

I'm considering trying Jiaobi skin whitening cream, but I'm a bit worried about its safety. Does it have any harsh chemicals in it? Is it okay to use it for the long term? I'd appreciate any advice on this.
Jiaobi skin whitening cream may contain harsh chemicals like hydroquinone, mercury, or steroids, which can have adverse effects with long-term use, so exercise caution and consult a dermatologist before using it.
