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!

I'm dealing with dandruff and my friend said kz lotion might help. Can you tell me how exactly I'm supposed to use it? Also, are there any side effects I should be worried about?

To use it, you should first wash and dry the affected area. Then, apply a thin layer of KZ lotion to the scalp and massage it gently. Leave it on for a few hours or overnight, and then wash it off. Common side effects of KZ lotion may include skin irritation, dryness, or a burning sensation. If you experience any severe side effects or allergic reactions, such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, stop using the lotion and seek medical help immediately.

I'm really worried because I've got these big white patches on my feet that started appearing a while back. I've been seeing a dermatologist since August, but there hasn't been any improvement so far. I've been using Pacroma, Topcort, and Vitix, and before that, I was on Olmis and Melgain. Plus, I've been taking antioxidants. I'm just really anxious about this and wondering if there's anything else I should be doing to help with this condition?

It seems like you are suffering from vitiligo, a skin condition that causes loss of skin color in patches. The treatment you are currently on includes Pacroma (Tacrolimus) and Topcort (Clobetasol) which are used to help repigment the skin. In addition to these, you can continue using Vitix (Khellin) which is also beneficial for vitiligo. Since you mentioned that you were previously advised to use Olmis instead of Pacroma and Melgain, you can discuss with your dermatologist about switching back to Olmis (Pimecrolimus) if there was no improvement with Pacroma. Continue taking antioxidants as they can help in overall skin health. It's important to follow your dermatologist's advice closely and have regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
