I've been dealing with an itchy scrotum and these light white plaques on it for almost a year now. I just started using Terbinafine cream a couple of days ago. Any idea what I should do from here? I'm really curious if this treatment is enough or if there's something else I should consider.

I've been dealing with some intense redness on my face after using skinlite cream for a couple of days. My dermatologist suggested momivate cream which has 0.1% mometasone furoate. Is it okay to leave this cream on overnight? I'm also worried because my skin is really oily and prone to acne. Could using this cream cause more acne? Would really appreciate your advice.

Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.

I recently had a mole removed using a blade, and they stopped the bleeding with heat. Now I've noticed there's a small crater where the mole was. I'm keeping it clean with soap and water, applying the ointment my doctor recommended, and covering it with a bandage. I'm just a bit worried thoughwill this crater eventually fill in as everything heals?

Yes that will heal no problem,follow your doctors advice
