I'm worried about my face getting so oily after being dry for so long. I've been dealing with regular breakouts and the pimples I get are mostly whiteheads, blackheads, and sometimes a few painful bumps. I've tried a bunch of different products to get rid of them, but nothing really seems to work. I don't have a ton of pimples, just around 8 to 10, and I do use makeup as well. Could you suggest a routine that might help keep my face clear of zits?

Since you have been experiencing oily skin and regular breakouts with whiteheads, blackheads, and occasional painful bumps, it sounds like you may be dealing with acne. To help keep your face zit-free, I recommend starting with a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to help unclog pores and reduce oiliness. Follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without clogging your pores. Incorporating a topical retinoid cream at night can also help with acne and prevent future breakouts. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is essential to protect your skin from further damage. As you mentioned using makeup products, opt for oil-free and non-comedogenic formulas to prevent worsening your acne. In case of persistent breakouts, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and prescription treatments such as benzoyl peroxide or topical antibiotics.

View allI'm really confused about the order in which I should apply my skincare medications for acne. I've got three different ones: Lotion Doux moisturizing lotion, UV Doux sunscreen, and Aziderm for dark spots. The Aziderm feels really drying on my skin, so I'm not sure if it should go first or last. Could you help me figure out the right order to apply them all?

I'm dealing with a ringworm infection on my stomach and it's super itchy. Is Tyza cream, which contains terbinafine, the right thing to use for this? Id rather not take any oral medication and prefer treating it with just creams or ointments. Could you let me know if this is a good approach?
Yes, Terbinafine cream, sold under the brand name Tyza, is a suitable product to treat ringworm on your stomach. You can apply a thin layer of Tyza cream on the affected area once or twice daily for about 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry before applying the cream. Additionally, it is important to continue the treatment for the recommended duration even if the symptoms improve earlier.
