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've been dealing with scabies for about a week now, and I've been using benzyl benzoate 25 on my body. I've avoided my face and penis area, but now I've noticed some small red bumps on the head of my penis. Is it safe to apply the cream there, or should I try something else? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.
No it is not advised.

I'm 18 and just lost my virginity a couple of days ago. My cycle is usually around 30 to 31 days, and we had sex on the 19th day of it. We used a condom correctly, but now I'm feeling nauseous and experiencing pain in my lower abdomen and breasts. I'm really worried about the possibility of being pregnant. Can you tell me how I can make sure I'm not pregnant and if these symptoms are typical after having sex?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to various factors, including hormonal changes or anxiety. To ensure you do not get pregnant, you can consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill such as "Plan B" or "Ella". These pills are most effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Additionally, you may want to consider regular contraception methods such as birth control pills, patches, or intrauterine devices (IUDs) for future protection. Regarding your symptoms, nausea and breast tenderness can sometimes occur due to hormonal changes after sex, but they can also be caused by other factors. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm really curious about using barium sulfate soap for hair removal at home. Is it safe for the skin? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
Using barium sulfate soap for hair removal at home is not safe for the skin. It can cause irritation, dryness, and even chemical burns. I recommend avoiding its use and opting for safer hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, or using depilatory creams."
