I've been using Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne, but my skin's really irritated after applying it. I know the irritation might go away after a few weeks, but now I've got this dark line on one side of my lip that isn't fading. Do you think this will become a permanent black patch or is it likely to disappear on its own?

It's likely a side effect of the deriva bpo gel known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur as a result of skin irritation or inflammation. In most cases, this dark patch should fade over time once you stop using the gel. To help speed up the process, you can try using a topical skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid.

Can I use Candid B cream for my 4-and-a-half-year-old daughter's small ringworm on her back and face? Is it safe, or should I try using fusidic cream instead? I'm just worried and want to make sure it's okay.
Don't use Candid B cream or Fusidic cream without consulting a pediatrician. For ringworm, a pediatrician may recommend antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole. Consult a pediatrician to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best treatment option for your child.

I'm noticing some yellow pimples on my testicles. There's no pain, but it's making me a bit anxious. Can you tell me what this could be? Should I be concerned?
The yellow pimples on your testicles are likely Fordyce spots, sebaceous cysts, or epididymal cysts, which are usually harmless and painless; however, to rule out other conditions like folliculitis, balanitis, or a sexually transmitted infection, consult a urologist
