Ive been dealing with some small acne on my face and went to a dermatologist about a month ago. He prescribed some medicines after examining me, but unfortunately, the acne hasn't improved. The medications were Phexin 500 mg, Doxy 1 LR 100 mg capsules, Zitcare, and Acnovate gel. Should I keep using these or try something different? I'm just a bit worried about why they haven't worked yet and would love some advice!

I'm a 29-year-old guy dealing with jock itch, and I'm looking for a good hair removal cream for the area above my penis and on my testicles. I'm especially concerned about finding something without side effects. Is it okay for guys to use women's hair removal creams? Also, I want the hair to grow back in about a month, so I'm not interested in anything permanent. What's readily available at most drugstores that you would recommend?
Blisters on the testicles with itching could be caused by a variety of conditions. Some possible causes are folliculitis, contact dermatitis , genital herpes, ingrown hairs or pseudofolliculitis , fungal infections.Avoid scratching or popping, clean the area gently,wear loose fitting underwear and avoid known irritants. Consult a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

What treatments would you recommend?
