Question

I'm a 29-year-old guy, and my doctor gave me Alaspan tablets for my dry and itchy skin because it's apparently some allergy issue. I noticed that Algo tablets have the same stuff in them but they're cheaper. Do you think it's okay for me to switch to Algo? Also, are there any other cheaper options you could recommend besides Alaspan?

If algo is working for you, you can use it as both are same .

Question

I've just gone through a Q switch ND yag laser treatment on my face for a speckled nevus, and it was done by a well-known laser surgeon in Delhi. I spoke to a bunch of doctors beforehand, and they all assured me it's safe. But now, after the procedure, I'm a bit worried. I had scaling on my face, and the skin peeled off within 5 days. After that, the spots where the laser was applied turned darker than my normal skin. I've been using this depigmentation cream called Depiwhite, but it feels like my progress has stalled, and the spots are still pretty dark. It seems like instead of improving, my situation might have worsened. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?
