Hey, I've been dealing with a really oily face and it's becoming quite frustrating. I recently came across Brevoxyl creamy wash and was wondering if I could use it daily instead of my regular soap to help with the oiliness. Is it safe to use every day, or could it cause any issues with my skin? Would love some guidance!

I've been using Melacare for a long time, but then I started traveling a lot for work between Pune and Mumbai, and my skin is now completely sunburned and darker. I used to be fair, but now my skin is almost black, and it's a lot. Can I start using Melacare again? Will that help me get my skin back to how it was before? I'm really worried about showing my face to anyone right now and could really use your advice.

I'm dealing with an infection near my belly button, and it's been causing some pus discharge. I used soframycin initially and then tried Fucidin cream, which helped a bit with the discharge, but there's still some redness and irritation around the area. I've also been on antibiotics and taken some anti-inflammatory tablets like Zerodol. Today, I noticed some hairy material coming out, which I think might be related to the umbilical cord. Could you advise me on what steps I should take next?

I've been struggling with lots of lice and lice eggs in my hair, and even with using Medikar and oils, nothing seems to work. My 10-year-old son is dealing with the same issue. Can you suggest some remedies for us?
