I'm using Deriva Cms gel for treating my acne, but I have sensitive combination skin, and I'm a bit unsure about how to go about it. Should I apply the gel just on the acne spots, or is it okay to put it on my whole face? I'm really hoping to get this right, so your advice would be super helpful!

View allI'm really worried about why my skin stays dirty even after washing it well. It's like I have to almost scrape with something sharp just to get the dirt off. After a bath, it seems to get dirty super fast again. I've even tried washing my face around 45 times a day, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. It's strange because even just after washing, if I rub my hands on my face, I still end up with some dust. What could be going on here?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a buildup of dead skin cells and dirt on your skin. This could be due to a variety of factors such as excessive oil production, environmental factors, or improper skincare routine. I recommend using a gentle exfoliating cleanser to help remove the dead skin cells and dirt more effectively. You can try using a face wash containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, twice a day. Additionally, using a gentle scrub, such as St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub, 2-3 times a week can also help improve the texture of your skin. Make sure to moisturize your skin afterwards to prevent it from becoming too dry. If the issue persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried because my skin has gotten so dull over the past couple of months. My engagement is coming up on the 28th of this month, and I really want to get my fair skin back before then. I've heard about melacare ointment and was wondering if it's safe and effective to use for this purpose. What do you think, should I try it?
Yes, Continue same medications.
