Face wash with either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide may help in removing dead skin cells which clogs the pores leading to acne. Either of them may help only in mild grade of acne. You can choose face wash with salicylic acid if you have blackheads, whiteheads and comedones and face wash with benzoyl peroxide if you have pus filled pimples.

I'm taking FLUKA500 for a fungal infection I've had for the past 2 years and using MYCODERMC powder along with a citrazine tablet. I've been stuck with this for so long, and I'm not sure if these are the best treatments or if there's something else I should try. It's been quite frustrating. What do you think, is there a better approach to finally get rid of this?

So I used Veet on my skin for about 10 minutes and now I've got these rashes on my thigh joints. It's been half an hour since they appeared. Is it okay if I put on some Four Derm cream?

Fourderm contain a strong steroid and can cause severe side effects. You may have developed irritation due to veet which is very common. DO NOT APPLY SOAP OVER AFFECTED AREA
