I've been using glocin gel as prescribed for about a month now, applying it twice daily. I'm just wondering if I should keep using it for another month or if it's okay to stop at this point. What do you suggest?

As you have been using Glocin gel for almost one month, it is important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider regarding the duration of treatment. In general, for conditions like acne, it is common to continue using topical treatments like Glocin gel for at least 8-12 weeks to see optimal results. However, since individual cases may vary, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider to determine if you should continue using the gel for another month or if it is appropriate to stop at this time.

I'm really worried because I've been using Betnovate N on my face for the past 7-8 years, and now that I know about the side effects, I want to stop but keep facing immediate reactions when I try to. What can I do to safely discontinue using it without experiencing those side effects?

To safely stop using Betnovate N after 7-8 years, consult a dermatologist for a gradual tapering plan, and consider using alternative topical creams or oral medications to manage withdrawal symptoms like itching, redness, and dryness.

I'm really worried about this painful bump I have. A friend of mine went to a doctor who tried to squeeze a similar boil-like thing but nothing came out and it was really painful. That doctor prescribed antibiotics and told them to use cold compresses, but I think hot compresses might be more effective. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed with the doctor's approach. Can you help me figure out what this painful, swollen bump might be?
