I've been using Erytop lotion for my acne, and recently I've noticed a red swelling on my face. I'm 26 years old and kind of worried about it. Do you think it's a reaction to the lotion, or could it be something else? What should my next steps be?

Stop using the medication, u can use kojiglo cream for local application for 7 days, any side-effects dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

View allI've been dealing with these little red spots on my back and neck for about a week now. They were super itchy when they first appeared last Saturday but arent itching anymore. However, they havent gone away, and I havent taken any medication. I'm really unsure about whats going on or what I should do next. Any insights?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a rash. Based on your description of red spots that were itchy initially but are now not itching, it could be a reaction to something you came into contact with or possibly a viral rash. To help with the rash, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with any remaining itchiness. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help with any discomfort. If the rash persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been using Cutihyde and Momerex creams for my black spots for about 4 years now. They worked great, but every time I try to stop, the spots come back. I even tried using different creams like one with kojic acid, but they didn't work for me. I haven't used Cutihyde and Momerex creams since last month, and now the spots are bigger than ever. I'm really worried about this and I feel embarrassed facing people. Can you help me figure out what I should do?
It seems like you have been dealing with stubborn black spots on your face. Since you have already tried cutihyde and momerex creams which were effective but the spots reappear when you stop using them, I would recommend trying a combination of creams containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. You can use a cream like Tri-Luma, applying a thin layer once daily at night. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day as these ingredients can increase sensitivity to the sun. Additionally, incorporating a vitamin C serum in your skincare routine can also help with fading dark spots. Remember to be patient as it may take some time to see results.

I'm really confused about which soap is actually good for my skin. I've been thinking about using Kozicare soap but I'm not sure if it's bad or good. Could you tell me if there's a soap that's safe to use daily and really beneficial for skin health?
Yes you can use it no problem,it works for fungal infection or any other microbial infections
