Can I use Veet hair removal cream for getting rid of pubic hair? I've trimmed, but some hairs are still left, and they hurt when they grow a bit. Is it safe for the skin in that area? Are there other creams suitable for men? I'm not looking for laser treatment.

Yes, you can use Veet hair removal cream for your pubic area. Make sure to choose a sensitive skin formula to minimize the risk of irritation. Follow the instructions on the package carefully and do a patch test before applying it to a larger area.

I've been dealing with pimples on my face and dandruff on my scalp, so I started using this Konaz CT shampoo, which is a ketoconazole shampoo, twice a week. I'm a bit worriedif the shampoo accidentally gets on my face, could it actually cause more acne? Would love to know what you think.

I'm really worried because my face has gotten darker since I delivered my baby. The doctor once mentioned that it might be due to the folic acid tablets I was taking. But now it's been over three years, and my face keeps getting darker while the rest of my body remains the same as before I gave birth. There's such a noticeable difference between my face and body color, and it's really concerning me. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I might be able to do about this?

Post delivery hyperpigmentation is very common and the treatment is a gradual process rather than overnight change. Use Sun protection like sunscreen with spf 30 or higher and avoid direct sunlight.Use skin lightening creams containing vitamin C , Niacinamide , Azelaic acid etc.There are so many different treatment options available like chemical peels, laser treatments etc.Consult a dermatologist and go through proper treatment while maintaining a healthy lifestyle you can get rid of this hyperpigmentation completely .
