I've been dealing with pimples and blackheads on my face for the past couple of months and started using Deriva-Bro gel for three days now. But I'm not sure how long I should be applying this gel. Can you guide me on the right usage or any other tips?

-Hi Gulam Sarwar, you can use Deriva-BPO gel once daily, usually at night, for 4-6 weeks to see improvements. If you experience irritation, reduce usage to every other day and consult your doctor for further guidance.

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.
