I've got this dry, light brown patch under my eye, and the doctor suggested using fusidic acid and mometasone furoate cream. I'm a bit worried because my skin is really sensitive. Could this cream cause any additional problems? I've read some reviews and just want to make sure it's safe for me.

I've had a pimple near my eye for the past couple of days, and there's another one on my scalp. It's causing pain in my right eye, and there's some swelling at the bottom of it. Should I be concerned about this? What might be causing it, and is there anything I can do to relieve the symptoms?

Use a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin for the pimple near your eye and on your head scalp. Apply a small amount to the affected areas twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling.
