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 worried about my husband's skin rash that started after taking imol a few months back. Now hes been on injections and enzocart tablets because of it. He also keeps getting these headaches. I'm not sure what medicine is safe for him to take now, but I've heard about Dolo 650 already. Is something like dart okay for his headaches?

Dolo 650 contains paracetamol and so does dart. If he gets frequent headaches then instead of taking self medication and landing in trouble ask him to get it checked out by a neurophysician in person for further evaluation and management. .he will be able to help you further.
