Can I use Elocon cream to make my lips a rose color? A friend of mine suggested it, but I'm really curious if it's actually safe to use like this. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? And if it is safe, how exactly should I apply it?

Elocon cream should not be used to change the color of your lips, as it can cause serious side effects, especially with prolonged use. Its best to focus on natural, safe methods to enhance lip color or consult a dermatologist for advice on how to achieve the desired results safely.

I've been using Skinshine cream for about 4 months, but I stopped using it 2 months ago and now my face is darker and I've got a lot of pimples. I'm really concerned about what's happening. What should I do?

I'm noticing this ring-like red spot on my face and it sort of reminds me of ringworm. I've started using Lobate GM cream for it. Is this the right treatment to go for, or should I be doing something different? Im a bit worried about whether I'm using the right stuff for this.
A ring red spot or rash on your face resembling ringworm may require antifungal treatment. However, Lobate GM is not appropriate for ringworm as it contains a combination of a steroid (betamethasone) and two other ingredients. Instead, you should use an antifungal cream like Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) or Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin). Apply the antifungal cream twice daily on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. If the rash persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
