Can I start using Skinlite cream again on my tan spots? I tried it last year and it worked wonders, but then my face got really dark, and I had to see a doctor to get my original complexion back. After a family trip to Mumbai in June, I got pretty tanned. Is it okay to apply Skinlite on alternate days to those dark areas, or should I be wary of any side effects?

View allI'm thinking about using a derma roller for my face, but I'm not entirely sure how to properly sanitize it. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Dettol or Savlon to clean it. Could you walk me through the sanitizing process? I'm a bit worried about making sure it's safe to use on my skin.
While Dettol or Savlon can be used to sanitize a derma roller, a more recommended approach is to soak the derma roller in a mixture of 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or ethanol for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with sterile or distilled water, and let air-dry; this method is gentler on the needles and more effective against bacteria and other microorganisms.

I'm really worried because I've had these dry rashes on my palms and feet for about a year and a half now. My doctor prescribed Halovate F, but it seems like it's just making things worse. Should I continue using it or maybe consider some other treatment options? What could these rashes mean? Any advice would be appreciated!
Dry rashes on your palms and feet for such a long duration can be quite bothersome. Halovate F contains the active ingredients Halobetasol and Fusidic Acid, which are used to reduce inflammation and treat skin infections. However, if you are experiencing an increase in symptoms despite using this medication, it may be necessary to consider alternative treatments. I recommend discussing with your doctor about trying a different medication such as Clobetasol propionate cream, which is a potent corticosteroid that can help reduce inflammation and itching associated with skin conditions. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Additionally, it is important to keep your skin well moisturized by using emollients or moisturizers regularly. Avoiding triggers such as harsh soaps, excessive hand washing, or irritants can also help in managing your symptoms. If the rashes persist or worsen, further evaluation by a dermatologist may be necessary to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.

I'm a bit confused about using Callan lotion and I Glow gel at night. Is it okay to apply both at the same time? I noticed that the prescription says I need to use the I Glow gel for the entire night after a few days. Can you help clarify what I should do?
