Staph Infection Treatment
Staph infection is caused by staphylococcus bacteria. The bacteria can be found around nose, mouth and genitals. In many cases is it harmless, but it can turn deadly if the bacteria enters the blood stream or affects the heart or the lungs. People with burns are most likely to be affected by it. It is contagious.

Dry Acne Prone skin problem
Hello Doctor, I am a 24-year-old male seeking guidance for my skin problems. My skin type is dry, sensitive, and acne-prone. I have recurring acne—pimples heal but new ones keep appearing. I also have post-acne marks, mild redness, and dryness, which gets worse in winter. My skin gets irritated easily, so I want treatment that controls acne without harming my skin barrier. Current routine: I have been following this routine for about one month. I use a gentle face wash twice daily. At night, I apply niacinamide 10% serum daily, followed by a moisturizer for dry and sensitive skin. In the evening, I use benzoyl peroxide 2.5% as a spot treatment only on active pimples. I also use retinol 0.3% twice a week at night, and I avoid using benzoyl peroxide and retinol on the same day. I do not use scrubs or harsh exfoliants. Concerns and questions: Despite this routine, acne keeps coming back, mainly on the cheeks and jawline. I am worried whether I am overusing actives.
