I've been dealing with these pus-filled bumps on my upper lip for the past two years. They just keep getting bigger, even when I pop them. They don't look like cold sores or regular pimples, but some do have blackheads. It's concerning because they never go away. What can I do to get rid of them permanently?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a condition called recurrent folliculitis. To treat this, you can try using a topical antibiotic cream like Mupirocin twice daily on the affected areas. In addition, an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline can be prescribed to help clear up the infection. It's important to maintain good hygiene, avoid picking or popping the bumps, and follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm wondering if it's okay to put Deriva BPO gel just on my acne spots or scars, or should I go ahead and apply it to my whole face? I'm a bit concerned about how it might affect the rest of my skin if I use it all over. What do you recommend?
Deriva BPO gel can be applied to the full face, not just on acne or acne scars. It should be applied as a thin layer on the entire affected area once daily, preferably in the evening, after washing the face with a gentle cleanser. Remember to use sunscreen during the day as this product can increase sensitivity to sunlight.

I've noticed these black spots and red patches that have shown up on both sides of my inner thighs. They seem to itch mostly at night when I'm trying to sleep, and there's also this uncomfortable burning sensation. It's starting to worry me a bit. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection, such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with healing.
