For acne removal and to improve face glow, you can consider using a face cream containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene helps in acne treatment by preventing the formation of new acne, while benzoyl peroxide helps in reducing acne-causing bacteria and inflammation.

I'm a bit worried because I noticed some cuts on the inner skin of my penis after having intercourse last week. It's really dry and itchy now. Could you let me know what's going on and what I can do about it?

Apply a topical antibiotic ointment and a moisturizer to soothe the dryness and itching; take an over-the-counter antihistamine or hydrocortisone cream for itching; practice good hygiene, avoid scratching, and wear loose clothing
