I've been using this salicylic acid face wash called Speelac, as my doctor suggested, but after just two days of using it twice daily, my skin's feeling super dry and hurts a lot. It's like I can feel my skin burning when I put on any ointments. Is this something normal or should I be worried? I've also been using Acnemoist and Derivative CMS gel. Would appreciate any insights on this!

You may be experiencing an adverse reaction to the salicylic acid face wash. The dryness, pain, and burning sensation you are feeling are not normal and may indicate that the product is too harsh for your skin. I recommend stopping the use of the Speelac face wash and consult your doctor or dermatologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to help soothe your skin.

View allI've been dealing with a fungal infection for the past two years and have been using sulfur 30 and tellurium 30, along with bc20 tablets for about a month now. Things seemed to be improving, but the itching has started up again recently. Could you offer some guidance on what might be causing this or suggest a way to get the itching under control?

I've been having this weird sensation where it feels like ants are biting me all over my body, especially when I start working out or if I'm standing in the sunlight. My skin starts releasing this white, hair-thin substance from the pores, turns reddish, and it's almost unbearable for me to be in the sun or exercise in the winter. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
