View allI'm considering switching from Skinlite cream, which I stopped using after my dermatologist suggested Botanica 3D serum. I saw good results with the serum, but now another dermatologist has recommended Depiwhite cream for skin lightening. I'm worried about the safety of using Depiwhite and whether I might experience the same side effects as with Skinlite, since it had steroids. Do you think Depiwhite is safe, or is there another good skin lightening cream you'd suggest?
Depiwhite cream is a safe option for skin lightening as it does not contain steroids like Skinlite cream. You can use Depiwhite cream for skin lightening. Another good skin lightening cream option is Kojic acid cream. You can apply Depiwhite cream or Kojic acid cream on the affected areas of the skin twice a day for best results.

I'm really concerned because about 60 days ago, I had a sexual encounter with protection. However, I just got my herpes antibody test results, and they're showing 3.5 for IgM antibodies and 30 for IgG antibodies. Is it possible that herpes could've been transmitted even with protective sex? I'm also wondering if there's any specific treatment I should be considering.
Yes there are chances of you getting herpes despite of having protective sex,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

My upper lip has gotten thicker and I'm not happy with how it looks. I really don't want to go for surgery are there any home remedies or natural ways to make it thinner? What can I try at home to reduce the thickness?
Try cold compresses, turmeric, and facial massages for thick lips. If no change, consult a dermatologist. Surgery is a last resort.
