Question 5

Im using benzoyl peroxide 2.5% for my acne, and Im thinking about adding a glycolic acid cream. How does glycolic acid work on acne-prone skin thats already being treated with benzoyl peroxide? Also, whats the best way to use it on sensitive skin wit...

Accepted Answer

Glycolic acid cream works by exfoliating the skin, unclogging pores, and promoting skin cell turnover, which can help improve acne. When used in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, it can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment by further exfoliating the skin and reducing inflammation. For sensitive skin, it is important to start with a lower concentration of glycolic acid (around 5-8%) and gradually increase the frequency of use as tolerated. It is recommended to apply a small amount of glycolic acid cream to clean, dry skin once every other day initially, and then increase to daily use if there is no irritation. Always follow up with a moisturizer and use a sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid, as it can increase sun sensitivity.

Question 6

My husband have been heaving fungal infection... take different types of medicines but it occurs again...  kindly share medicine which can totally removes it

Accepted Answer

I recommend trying Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) at a dosage of 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks. Additionally, applying Clotrimazole cream (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily to the affected area can help in faster resolution of the infection. Remember to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.
