View allI've been advised to start using Deriva CMS gel for my cystic acne. The issue is my wedding is on the 20th of this month, and I just started using it two days ago. A friend told me that this gel might cause more pimples at first before gradually improving acne. I'm really unsure about continuing its use with my big day coming up. Could you guide me on whether it's safe to keep using it before my wedding?
It is common for acne medications like Deriva CMS gel to cause an initial flare-up of acne before improvement is seen. This is due to the medication bringing underlying acne to the surface. However, it is important to continue using the gel as prescribed by your doctor for best results. To manage any potential flare-ups before your marriage, you can consider starting the gel at a lower frequency (e.g. every other day) and gradually increasing to daily use as your skin adjusts. Additionally, you can use a gentle moisturizer to help reduce any dryness or irritation that may occur. Overall, it is safe to continue using Deriva CMS gel as prescribed by your doctor. Remember to follow your doctor's instructions for the best outcome.

I've got this big black patch on my right shoulder called a baker nevus, and I know it's harmless, but it's become a big deal for me, especially because it messes with my confidence. People say its not a big deal, but that's easy for them to say. I find myself avoiding places where I'd need to take off my shirt like the gym or beach, and even at home, I don't like being shirtless because of it. It's really affecting me psychologically, and sometimes, I just feel really frustrated about it. What can I do to get rid of or manage it? Any advice would be really appreciated.
