Question 1

I'm using Deriva CMS for my acne issues, and I've heard that it initially causes all the acne to surface before it heals the skin. My doctor suggested mixing it with Cetaphil moisturizer, applying it for an hour before bed, washing it off, and then using Cleargel. Since it's winter and my skin tends to get dry, I'm worried it might cause a dry patch. Do you think I could use Deriva CMS as a spot treatment for just a few hours to avoid this? Would love some advice on this!

Accepted Answer

- Its best to follow your doctor's advice and mix Deriva with Cetaphil to avoid dryness, especially during winter. Using it directly as a spot treatment could cause irritation or dryness. Stick to the recommended routine for better results and comfort.

You may be dealing with a condition like eczema or psoriasis. In this case, I recommend trying a cream containing 1% hydrocortisone, such as Cortizone-10. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. Remember to consult a healthcare professional if the symptoms persist or worsen.
