View allI've got these scars on my face from using zalim lotion and I'm really worried about how to get rid of them. What should I do?
To remove the scars left on your face, you can try using a topical cream containing silicone gel, such as Mederma. Apply a thin layer of Mederma on the scars twice a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement. Additionally, you can consider using a vitamin E cream, like Derma E Vitamin E 12,000 IU Cream, to help with scar healing. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.

I'm currently taking Zempred 4mg during the weekends, two tablets each on Saturday and Sunday for a total of one month, which adds up to 16 tablets. I've been diagnosed with lichen planus pigmentosus. I'm wondering if it's okay to stop taking these tablets after the one month is up? Is it generally safe to continue with this dosage for just a month?
Zempred 4mg is a brand name for methylprednisolone, which is a corticosteroid. It is commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions like lichen planus pigmentosus. The dosage you mentioned is appropriate for short-term use. It is safe to stop taking Zempred 4mg after one month as prescribed. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment. If you have any concerns about stopping the medication, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I'm using Bellissa Lite cream to help with fairness, but I'm seeing results really slowly. I'm considering switching to Ilumax instead. Is Ilumax a steroid, and is it safe for me to use? Also, Bellissa is a bit pricey, so is Ilumax a more cost-effective option?
Continue same treatment.
