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 recently had dengue fever, and after I recovered, I've been dealing with this really annoying skin issue on my thighs. It's super itchy, and I'm not sure what's going on. Is this a common side effect after dengue, or should I be worried about something else? What can I do to relieve the itching?

I've been dealing with ringworm for about six months and haven't had any luck with the creams I've tried. Someone suggested I try Derobin cream, so I used a lot of it for around 11 hours. Now my skin is burnt and really red, especially on my thighs, penis, and testicles. It's really painful and I'm worried. Can you recommend any creams or medicine to help fix this issue?

I'm really concerned about these lines appearing near my shoulders and armpits on both sides. They've been there for almost a year and seem to be increasing over time. I'm worried because I don't know what they are or what's causing them. Can someone help me understand what this could be and suggest any remedies? I'd also like to know how I can prevent this from getting worse.
