Is Vaseline good for face?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Vaseline is a Petroleum Jelly based moisturiser. As long as the person is not allergic to Vaseline they can apply it to the face but in very limited quantities to prevent blockage of pores and Acne.

View allI'm a bit worried because I used hydroquinone 4 for a dark spot on my nose from picking whiteheads, and it seemed to help at first, but after I stopped using it, my nose got even darker. I can't see a dermatologist right now, which is stressful. Will this darkness fade away eventually, even if it takes 6 or 8 months?
That is steroid based cream and has harmful side effects,and you are not supposed to stop it abruptly,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I've been using Katialis ointment on my face to treat acne, and now I have tiny red bumps on the places where I applied it. Could this be an allergic reaction? If it is, what should I do to treat it?
stop using it immediately and consult dematologist

I've been dealing with jock itch since July this year, so it's been over two months. I admit I didnt take it seriously at first, but I started applying betadine frequentlylike every few hoursover the past week except when I'm sleeping. The rash has spread to almost my entire groin area, and I'm not sure if its actually improving. I havent had the chance to see a doctor yet, but I'm curious if this kind of jock itch can still be treated effectively with betadine. What do you think?
Applying betadine may help with disinfection, but for the treatment of jock itch, it is important to use antifungal medication. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection.
