I've been dealing with acne since I was 15, and it's gotten worse now that I'm 20. I tried some Ayurvedic treatments, but they didn't really help. A dermatologist recommended clarithromycin and tretinoin cream, which showed minimal improvement for a bit, but now my acne's back and even worse. Is there any real, lasting solution out there?

Question

Is it okay if I use Egacream every day? I've been doing this for about a year now. I'm 36 with a dusky skin tone. If it's not safe, can you suggest a different cream that I could use regularly?

Question

I'm really struggling with an itching problem that started a few months ago, and it's still bothering me. What could be causing this, and what are some good ways to treat or ease it?

I'm a bit confused about the prescription my doctor gave me. They've suggested using Proanagen solution on my scalp at bedtime, mentioning something about '4 in night'. Does this mean I should apply it every night, and do I need to wash my hair in the morning? Any advice would be really helpful!
