I've been dealing with an acne problem and my dermatologist recommended using Topibrite cream every night. I'm just a bit concerned about using it so regularly. Is it really safe to put it on every night, or could there be any side effects I should watch out for?

Topibrite cream, containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide, is generally safe for regular nighttime use, but potential side effects like dryness, irritation, or sun sensitivity can occur, so follow your dermatologist's guidance, start with a small amount, and gradually increase as your skin tolerates it.

I'm 21 and have been dealing with scabies for like 8 months now. I've tried a bunch of creams like permethrin and lindane, but nothing works anymore. The red bumps just keep coming back on my scrotum and penis after a few days of any treatment. Can you suggest something that could really fix this for good so it doesnt return again?
