Hey, I'm trying to figure out if Demelan cream is a good option for dealing with pimples and tan. Could you share your thoughts on that or suggest something else that might work better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Demelan cream contains a combination of Glycolic acid, Arbutin, and Kojic acid, which can be effective in treating both pimples and tan. You can apply a thin layer of Demelan cream on the affected areas once daily at night. However, it is important to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream to prevent further tanning.

View allI've had these little white spots or bumps on the inside of my thighs for about 10 days now, and they're super itchy. I've tried using calamine lotion, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. They aren't exactly pimples, just these annoying white spots. Any idea what might be causing this or how I can get some relief?
Based on your description, a fungal infection like tinea cruris or irritation from sweatfriction is likely. Start with an antifungal cream and maintain good hygiene. If it doesnt improve within a week or worsens, consult a dermatologist for a precise diagnosis and stronger medications,

I'm dealing with a fungal infection on my butt and I've heard about using Onabet cream and Luliconazole cream. Do I need to use both of them for it to be effective, or would just one of them work fine? I want to make sure I'm treating it properly.
Using both Onabet cream (containing clotrimazole) and luliconazole cream together is not necessary, as both are antifungal medications; instead, use one cream as directed,

I've been hearing a lot about using onion juice on the scalp to promote hair growth. I'm really curious if it actually works and how quickly it might show results. Is it safe to use, or are there any potential side effects I should be aware of? I'd love to know more about its effectiveness and any tips on how I might go about trying it.
Onion juice has been shown to promote hair growth due to its high sulfur content which helps improve blood circulation to the hair follicles. You can apply onion juice directly to the scalp and leave it on for about 30 minutes before washing it off. This can be done 1-2 times a week for best results.
