Question

I'm really concerned about the long-term use of Skinlite cream. I've been using it regularly and I'm worried if it could potentially cause skin cancer. Should I keep using it or is it something that could be risky for my skin health?

This cream contains steroid. It should only be used under the supervision of a qualified dermatologist. Overuse of steroids can have lasting side effects.

I'm a 22-year-old girl with acne-prone skin and a normal skin tone. I'm really curious if there's any cream out there that actually works to make my skin fairer. Could you help with that?

Question

Ive noticed this dark to brown patch right next to the meatus for around three months, and I can't help but worry. I have this maniac disorder that makes me check my penis a lot, like 8 to 10 times a day, because I'm paranoid about any unusual reactions. Doing this before once caused me to get balanitis. Now, Im freaking out that this brown patch might be related to those habits. Initially, I thought it might be a vein left behind, but now it doesn't seem like that. An online doctor mentioned it could be melanosis. Could this possibly be skin cancer, like melanoma, or am I overthinking this? Can checking and friction really turn that areas skin color to brown or tan?

Question

I'm having some issues with my nails and went to a dermatologist. They didn't find any fungal elements in the KOH mount test, but the doctor prescribed me Clonate lotion and Lyotin Forte tablets. Can I start using these, and is it really okay to apply Clonate lotion on my nails? Are there any side effects I should be aware of, and could you explain the proper way to use them? I'm really anxious to figure this out soon!
