Question

I'm dealing with this issue where I've got these white pus-filled bumps on my face, and they usually come in clusters. They're not just regular pimples but are more like pus-filled lesions, and some can be pretty painful. I did a bit of research, and it seems like it might be caused by staph bacteria. I had this same problem last year and was prescribed Minoz OD and Microdox, which cleared it up back then. Really need some advice now on how I can tackle this again. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Question

What can I do about my skin color fading away? I used to have a fair complexion as a child, but now my face looks darker, and I've lost that even skin tone. I guess it's from spending too much time in the sun and swimming. Do you have any natural home remedies to help lighten my skin tone quickly?

Question

I'm 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant and earlier today I used a small cap full of undiluted Dettol antiseptic liquid on my hands. I washed them about 5 times with body soap and water to try to get rid of the smell. I'm really worried if there's any harm to my baby from using undiluted Dettol, even after washing so many times. Could there still be leftover chemicals on my hands that I might ingest, which could then reach my baby?
