I've been using Cloben G for treating pimples for about six months and decided to stop it recently, but now my face is super itchy with small red bumps. Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?

View allI'm really struggling to find a safe night cream because my skin is sensitive and has a dusky tone. Is it okay to use Lacto Calamine? If it's not the best option, could you suggest some safer alternatives? I'm just worried about causing any irritation or breakouts.
Lacto Calamine can be safe to use for sensitive skin, but it may not be suitable for everyone. If you are looking for safer substitutes, you can consider using Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream or Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion. These are gentle on the skin and can help with hydration without causing irritation. Apply a thin layer of the moisturizer on your face at night before going to bed for best results.

I'm currently using Benzac 5, but someone recently suggested Pernex AC, which is much cheaper. My tube of Benzac only lasts about two weeks and is pretty expensive compared to Pernex. I'm wondering if I can switch to Pernex instead? Is it just as effective?
Benzac AC is a topical gel that works by reducing acne-causing bacteria and removing dead skin cells. Pernex AC, on the other hand, is a combination of antibiotics that work by killing bacteria on the skin. It is not recommended to replace Benzac AC with Pernex AC without consulting your healthcare provider.

I've noticed a big rash on the side of my neck, and I'm worried it might be caused by lizard urine getting on my skin. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could this really be the cause, and what should I do to treat it?
If you suspect a skin rash is caused by lizard urine, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water, then apply an antiseptic cream and a topical steroid cream to reduce inflammation; take an oral antihistamine to alleviate itching and seek medical attention if the rash worsens, spreads, or is accompanied by fever, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
