I'm using Deriva CMS gel and Venusia cream for my acne as my doctor suggested, but I'm a little worried. My skin is super dry and sensitive. Is it really safe to use the Deriva CMS gel all over my face? I've read about some possible side effects and I just want to make sure. Can you help me figure this out?

My wife's been having this pain in her left hand veins, and her thumbs have been itching for the past three days. I initially thought it might just go away on its own, but the pain hasn't improved.
