Can I use Glyco 6 every day or should it be applied on alternate days? And when it comes to a face moisturizer, should I put it on before or after using Glyco 6? I'm a bit unsure about the right routine to follow.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For beginners stay with alternate days or 2-3 times per week especially if you are new to glycolic acid. For experienced users you can gradually increase to daily use.Use moisture after applying this cream.

View allI'm just wondering how serious Molluscum Contagiosum is and what steps I should take to make sure it doesn't spread everywhere. What should I be looking out for, and how can I prevent it from affecting others around me?
Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection that is generally not considered serious, especially in healthy individuals. However, it can be contagious and spread easily through direct skin-to-skin contact or by sharing personal items. To prevent spreading it further, it is important to avoid scratching or picking at the lesions as this can release the virus and spread it to other areas of the skin. It is also advisable to keep the affected areas clean and covered to prevent contact with others. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing, can help reduce the risk of spreading the infection. In some cases, a healthcare provider may recommend treatment options such as cryotherapy or prescription medications to help clear the lesions.
