I've been using Deriva BPO gel for about a week now, but I haven't noticed any improvements in my acne. In fact, I'm seeing more whiteheads appearing on my acne every day. Is this how the gel is supposed to work, or will it actually help clear up my acne?

I'm dealing with these blood blisters on my scrotum that I think might be angiokeratomas. They get a bit painful and irritating when I touch them. I'm really hoping to handle this on my own at home, maybe with a cream or something, because I'd rather not involve anyone else. Is RF ablation the only way to get rid of these, or do you have any advice on what else I might try?
