Can I use Dermadew soap on my face? I've been struggling with acne there. When I had back acne, this soap really worked miracles and cleared it up. Now that the acne's on my face, I'm wondering if it would be safe and effective to use it there too. On top of that, Im dealing with atopic dermatitis on my face as well. Could using the soap worsen this skin issue?

yes continue the medications as advised by the dermatologist.

I've had this small skin tag near my anus for about 23 years. It's not a hemorrhoid because it doesnt hurt, but it does swell up a bit during bowel movements. Im really curious to know if this is actually a skin tag or if it could be something else. Also, how can I get it removed?

I'm getting pimples right after sex and they're all over my face. When I stop having sex, my skin gets better but I'm really bothered by the marks left behind. I'm scared to have sex because of these breakouts. What's going on and what can I do about it?

This could be due to hormonal changes or increased sweating during sexual activity leading to clogged pores. I recommend using a topical acne medication containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser like "Cetaphil" twice a day to keep your face clean. Make sure to also drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet to support skin health.
