How exactly should I use this Salactin paint for my warts? Do I need to soak them in water first, or should I just apply it directly on them? I'm a bit unsure about the proper way.

I'm on the lookout for a cream that's good for fairness that won't come with any side effects and that I can use for the long run, especially since I have oily skin. Do you have any recommendations?

For fairness and to address oily skin in the long run, you can consider using a cream containing "Kojic acid" and "Niacinamide". One such cream is "Kojivit Plus Gel". It can be applied twice daily on the affected areas after cleansing the skin. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream.
