I'm trying to figure out which is better for fighting acne: Perobar 2.5 or Dermadew Acne Soap. I've come across some reviews that mention these soaps might darken the normal color of the face. Is there any truth to that?

Between Perobar 2.5% and Dermadew Acne Soap, Perobar 2.5% is likely more effective against acne.
Perobar 2.5%
- Contains benzoyl peroxide: A well-known acne-fighting ingredient that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and unclogs pores.
- Stronger formulation: 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is a relatively strong concentration, making it more effective against acne.
Dermadew Acne Soap
- Milder formulation: Dermadew Acne Soap may contain milder ingredients, such as tea tree oil or salicylic acid, which are less effective against severe acne.
- May not be as effective: Dermadew Acne Soap might not be as effective as Perobar 2.5% in reducing acne severity.
Skin Darkening Concerns
- Unlikely to darken skin: Neither Perobar 2.5% nor Dermadew Acne Soap is likely to darken your skin tone.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): If you experience acne inflammation, it may lead to PIH, causing temporary dark spots.
To minimize the risk of PIH, use sunscreen daily, avoid picking or popping pimples, and follow a consistent skincare routine.

View allI'm using Ayu Hina hair dye and I'm concerned if it's safe for me. I've got dark spots on both my cheeks, and you previously suggested using Cutiyt and Obril cream. The spots are still there though, so what should I do next?
Ayu hina hair dye is generally considered safe for use. However, it is always recommended to do a patch test before applying it to your entire scalp to check for any allergic reactions. If you are still experiencing dark spots on your cheeks despite using Cutiyt and Obril cream, you may consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. One such option is Melalite Forte cream, to be applied once daily at night on the affected areas. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.

I've been dealing with folliculitis in my pubic area after shaving, and I've already tried using antibiotic creams and pills. It's been over three weeks now, and while the pimples seem to have improved, the issue still isn't fully resolved. Should I be worried that it's taking this long to heal? Is there anything else I can do to make it go away completely?
