What facewash and serum suit my oily, acne-prone skin?
Oily skin is common and can lead to pimples and acne. The symptoms are so shiny skin, big pores, and sometimes breakouts. The cause of oily skin is the excessive sebum production by the skin. Salicylic acid face wash to unclog pores will suffice for this purpose. Oil control is also possible with a serum containing niacinamide.

Why is my right breast bump hot, swollen, and painful?
Your description makes me think of you having an infection or an abscess over your right breast. The situation may arise when water germs sneak into the skin causing swelling, redness, and pain. The main thing is to keep the area clean where the warm compresses are applied to help you relieve the pain. When the bump does not get better over time or gets worse, the first thing to do is to go to a dermatologist.

Did Detol burn cause stubborn facial brown patch?
Undiluted Dettol is said to cause burns and dark patches on the skin, especially the sensitive area of the face. The brownish skin spot that you have may be the result of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. To discolor the patch, avoid sun exposure by applying sunscreen, and think about visiting a dermatologist for chemical peels or laser therapy treatment.

Why am I getting forehead whitehead pimples at 35?
Those whiteheads on your forehead are probably a type of acne called comedones. The hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. Skin conditions can be accompanied by small, white bumps. One way is to use mild face washes with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide which can help remedy the clogged pores.

Remedies for Chikan pox small circle on mouth
A canker sore might trouble your mouth. They are small, round, and painful sores. Stress, spicy foods, or biting your cheek can cause them. Try over-the-counter rinses or gels to ease pain and speed healing. Soft foods are better; avoid spicy or acidic ones. Give it time - around one or two weeks - and it should disappear on its own.

Is Clobeta GM Cream Safe for Facial Skin?
You found Clobeta GM cream helpful. But, be careful using it long-term. Clobetasol propionate, the steroid, may thin skin or cause acne if used too long. Neomycin might irritate your skin. Miconazole kills fungus but shouldn't be used without doctor's advice over time. Consult a dermatologist to use this cream safely and avoid risks.
