Is it okay to use dermocalm lotion for pimples? I got viral fever a couple of days ago, and now I have a lot of pimples on my back because of the heat. Could you let me know if applying dermocalm would help with this?

I'm a 25-year-old woman, and I recently had hand surgery. My surgeon put me on Acuvin and Cetil 500, and I've been taking them for four days. I've started experiencing vaginal itching since then. My doctor hasn't given me anything for it. Do you have any suggestions on what might be causing this or what I can do to deal with it?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've noticed these two small lumps under my left armpit. At first, they seemed like pimples under the skin, but they got worse and swollen after I applied some Tiger Balm and pressed on them. I'm a bit worried about what this could be. Could you give me some advice?
