Brief Answer:
Use clobetasone butyrate cream and cleansing lotion

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply clobetasone butyrate cream on the dry itchy skin twice daily.
Don't use soap on face. Instead use a mild cleansing lotion for facewash like cetaphil cleansing lotion or episoft cleansing lotion.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

Brief Answer:
You need to stop neutrogena facewash

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome back.

Yes you need to stop neutrogena facewash and use cetaphil cleansing lotion instead.
It is recommended for dry itchy skin but won't have much effect on skin complexion.
For smelly underarms I recommend my patients to apply fusidic acid cream on the armpits twice daily and use clotrimazole powder on the under arms 2-3 times in a day.

Need to stop all except facewash during pregnancy

Detailed Answer:

You need to stop fusidic acid cream, clotrimazole powder, clobetasone butyrate cream and kojivit cream once you conceive.
For complexion apply you can use vitamin C serum on the face twice daily.
