Is this for the itching on the side or for the actual pimple which is on the pubic area (I have one small one on one side and another one on the other side which is also a little blown up around it.) It is difficult to get a picture of that area.

How long should it take to see a difference? How many times a day? 3?
Thank you for your help. So far, I used it twice but it did not get smaller.
Also, does it matter that the cream in my house has been around for about 1-2 years.
