Dandruff can be treated with anti-dandruff shampoos containing ketoconazole. You can try using Nizoral shampoo twice a week for 4 weeks to help reduce dandruff. Additionally, for the pimples on your face, you can use a topical acne treatment such as benzoyl peroxide gel (2.5%) once daily on the affected areas. Remember to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management if the symptoms persist.

I'm considering using Bellissa Lite cream for my face, but I'm a bit worried about whether it's actually safe. Could there be any side effects from using this cream? Would you be able to help me understand if it's okay to apply on my skin?

Generally safe for use on the face, but like any skincare product, it may cause side effects in some individuals. Some common side effects that may occur include skin irritation, redness, or dryness. It is always recommended to do a patch test before applying any new product on your face.
