I've got these red circles on both sides of my bikini line and they're kind of dry in the middle with raised edges. Sometimes they're dry and other times there's a bit of water. They itch occasionally and then go quiet. I'm wondering if I should use ringguard on them or if there's another ointment you would recommend?

how to treat acne at home

Creams based on retinoic acid or salicylic acid

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm 28 and have struggled with severe nodular acne, and unfortunately, my skin is still really sensitive. I occasionally get acne breakouts too. I've been using Epitheliale AH skin repair cream and a herbal acne cream as part of my skincare routine. Now, I'm starting to notice signs of aging like dry patches, fine lines, dullness, and some spots. I'm nervous about visiting salons for facials or cleanups due to hygiene concerns. I'm trying to figure out how to start an anti-aging regimen at home that won't trigger breakouts. Ive heard that a lot of anti-aging products have heavy moisturizers that might clog pores. Can you suggest any products that are safe for acne-prone skin but also keep it moisturized enough? Also, Im hoping for something cost-effective because I'm not looking to spend too much. What would you recommend?

Dermatologist opinion is advised.

I've been using Safi for a couple of months now, but I don't see any changes on my skin. Some people say it's good, others think it's not. I'm really confused and could use some advice. Should I keep drinking it or stop? Is there any other medicine that might work better for this?
