Question 5

i have oily skin. can i use any skin ointment to reduce my acne marks? or can i use adapalene 0.1% gel + (betamethasone+gentamicin) cream? today, it's 2nd day i used mixure of above mentioned gel and cream and then apply on my face. is it safe?

Accepted Answer

: I would stop what you’re doing and talk with a clinician first. Pursue a Telemedicine visit on HealthTap if you have no primary care physician. Betamethasone should not be used on the face without clear indication. Acne treatment takes weeks before clear effects, it’s best that you start on the right path early, rather than messing around for weeks on your own.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Multiple creams: Detane is a good example. Most have xylocaine or novocaine to numb sensations. Certain condoms will help delay orgasm.

Question 7

i have a bite that is still itchy from a week ago and the itchiness has spread. what is the best cream or gel to relieve this?

Accepted Answer

Itchy bite: The most effective topical treatment for the itch is a cortisone type cream or ointment. Use the cream on moist areas and ointment on dry areas. If there is associated spreading redness and warmth, secondary bacterial infection is likely and warrants an examination by a physician.

Question 8

It: It calms down inflammation.

Question 9

is there a pain killer cream gel with morfin or codein?

Accepted Answer

There can be: My pharmacy specializes in compounding topical pain creams tailored to target your pain specifically while reducing side effects and drug interactions. We assess the patients pain, perform a comprehensive medication review and work with the patients provider to customize a formula. Although a compound can contain Codeine or morphine there are formulas with other ingredients that are more effective.

Question 10

does moisturizing gel work ad good as cream (on face)?

Accepted Answer

Moisturizers: Moisturizers often do no more than cause acne.  If you are trying to make your skin smooth, I suggest using an aquaglycolic tonor or astringent.  This will remove the debris from the skin that makes the face seem rough.
