I'm looking for alternatives to skin lightening creams that won't thin my facial skin or cause any redness. I want to steer clear of products containing steroids. Can you suggest any options that are safe and effective?

An alternative cream that does not contain steroids and is gentler on the skin is "Kojivit Plus Gel". It contains kojic acid, arbutin, and vitamin C which help in skin lightening without thinning the skin or causing redness. You can apply a thin layer of Kojivit Plus Gel on the affected areas of the face once at night.

Question

I've been dealing with this issue where my armpit constantly smells like aloe vera, and it's really unpleasant. I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of it for good. Can you help me understand what's going on and if there's a permanent solution?

Question

I'm dealing with so much acne all over my face, and it's turning red and black like something's burned it. It's really irritating, and I'm getting these wrinkles and pores because of the acne. My eyes are also suffering; they're red, burning, and feel really irritated, especially behind them. A few months ago, I got something like ringworm and it turned into a huge mess. I've tried using clobetasol and powercort GM, but once I stop using them, the issues just come back. Sunlight makes it even worse, causing irritation and making my eyes tear up. My skin looks really aged with all the black and dark redness and the wrinkles. Can you please advise me on what I should do?

Question

I've noticed some white patches on my penis, specifically behind the foreskin at the top part. It's been a few weeks now, and recently, I've also seen small red marks developing on a couple of those patches. Can you tell me what kind of treatment might be appropriate or whether I should consult a sexologist or a dermatologist about this?
