I'm wondering if it's okay to apply Xerina cream to my armpits to help with the rough skin and dark patches there. My doctor originally prescribed it for my elbows, but can it also be used on areas with inflammation? I'm just curious if it would be safe and effective.

View allI'm dealing with a lot of acne on my face, and they leave these dark spots that just won't go away. Right now, I'm using NO MARKS cream and also taking Evion 400 and roxy 150 tablets. I'm a bit worried, thoughis this okay for me to continue using, or could it be causing any harm?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Acne usually appears on your face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. Effective treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up. Wash problem areas with a gentle cleanser. Twice a day, use your hands to wash your face with a mild soap and warm water. If you tend to develop acne around your hairline, shampoo your hair every day. Avoid certain products, such as facial scrubs, astringents and masks, because they tend to irritate skin, which can worsen acne. Excessive washing and scrubbing also can irritate skin. And be gentle while shaving affected skin. Avoid irritants. You may want to avoid oily or greasy cosmetics, sunscreens, hairstyling products or acne concealers. Use products labeled water-based or noncomedogenic, which means they are less likely to cause acne. Use an oil-free moisturizer with sunscreen. For some people, the sun worsens acne. And some acne medications make you more susceptible to the sun's rays. Check with your doctor to see if your medication is one of these. If it is, stay out of the sun as much as possible. Regularly use a nonoily (noncomedogenic) moisturizer that includes a sunscreen. Watch what touches your skin. Keep your hair clean and off your face. Also avoid resting your hands or objects, such as telephone receivers, on your face. Tight clothing or hats also can pose a problem, especially if you're sweating. Sweat and oils can contribute to acne. Don't pick or squeeze blemishes. Doing so can cause infection or scarring

I've got a wheatish, sensitive combination skin and earlier I was using Dermadew Aloe lotion as a night cream because my dermatologist recommended it. But honestly, I haven't seen much improvement in my skin tone. I recently came across something called Dermadew GLOW cream. Do you think it's safe for me to use it regularly for clearer, glowing skin?
Dermadew Glow cream is a good option for improving skin tone and achieving a clearer, glowy skin. It contains ingredients like Kojic acid, Arbutin, Liquorice extract, Vitamin E, and Allantoin which help in brightening the skin and reducing pigmentation. You can apply a thin layer of Dermadew Glow cream on cleansed skin at night before bedtime. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream to protect your skin from sun damage.
