I'm using Minokem N2 for my beard growth since June, but recently, in the last couple of weeks, I've noticed a lot of pimples popping up on my right cheek. I'm a bit worried and wondering if I should stop using Minokem. Could you also give me some advice on how to get rid of these pimples?

I recommend stopping the use of Minokem N2% and consulting with a dermatologist for further evaluation. To help cure the pimples, you can use a topical acne treatment like Benzoyl Peroxide gel (2.5%) twice daily on the affected area after washing your face with a gentle cleanser. Additionally, you can use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. If the pimples persist or worsen, please seek medical advice from a dermatologist.

I've just turned 31 and I'm dealing with this annoying fungal rash on my skin for the first time. I vaguely remember my mom having it once too. I'm not too keen on taking oral meds, so I'm wondering if there's a cream that can help treat this?

For fungal skin infections, you can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream called Clotrimazole. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2 to 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry before applying the cream. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I've cut myself on my stomach with a compass and now it's been about 5 or 6 days, but the pain just keeps getting worse. I don't want to tell anyone 'cause I'm the one who did it. Is there anything I can do to make the pain less intense, and do you know how long it'll take for the scars to go away?
