My relative had a hot oil spill accident and burned 25% of her legs. It's been 15 days since she's been in the hospital, and we're really worried about how long it'll take for her to recover. Can you give us some idea of the recovery time? We're feeling pretty panicked about this.

I've been dealing with acne on my chest and back for a bit now and was wondering if it's okay to use Candid B dusting powder for it. Do you think that would help, or is there something else I should try?

Candid B dusting powder contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone. It is primarily used for fungal skin infections and not specifically for acne. For acne on the chest and back, it is recommended to use topical treatments containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. You can try using Benzac AC gel or Salicylic Acid cleanser for your acne. Apply a thin layer of Benzac AC gel once daily or use the Salicylic Acid cleanser to wash the affected areas twice a day.

I'm having this problem with red marks on the glans of my penis and the foreskin. Sometimes it's itchy, and it seems to go away but then comes back. Also, there are times when the foreskin feels really tight. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm thinking of using Retino A 0.05 with Deriva CMS to tone it down a bit. Do you think that'll help with the flaking and redness that everyone talks about in the beginning? I'm really worried because I have to go to work and can't be dealing with a peeling face at the office. Could this combo work for me?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
