I've been using sofradex cream on my face for the past 15 years because my skin is really oily and I wanted to get rid of pimples. Now, I can't find the cream anywhere, and my face has started to get dry and itchy. The skin around my eyelids is drying out too, and I'm noticing wrinkles forming. I always applied the cream at night, and I'm worried about what to do next. Any advice on how to handle this situation?

I'm taking roxithromycin as my doctor prescribed, but after just two days, my skin's breaking out even more than before. What's going on? Is this normal, or should I be worried?

I've been dealing with ringworm for a year now, and allopathy hasn't really helped. I've switched to Ayurveda, and it seems to be showing some good results. But I came across something online that mentioned Salicylic Acid or sapat lotion might work fast, like in just two days. I'm pretty frustrated at this point and would really appreciate an honest answer. Is there any truth to this idea?

I've been using Betnovate N cream on and off for about 10 years, and now I've got these dark spots on my cheeks near my nose. I'm seeing a dermatologist who told me to use Azelaic acid cream 20 at night for just 30 minutes and Dermadew Glow cream during the day. It's almost been a month and I don't really see any improvement. I'm really stressed about these spots. What do you think about this treatment?

Prolonged usage betnovate cream would have made your skin sensitive,and lead for hyperpigmention,it takes time to heal have patience and follow your doctors advice.
