View allI've been dealing with pigmentation on both sides of my face and it's quite noticeable, especially since my job involves a lot of public interaction. I've been using Pineglow cream at night and Sun Cross Ultra cream during the day, but Im really concerned about how long it might take to see any improvement. Could you let me know if I'm on the right track or suggest anything else that might help? The pigmentation makes me pretty self-conscious.

I've been dealing with a bindi allergy for the last 5 years and I've tried so many ointments but nothing seems to work. Any ideas on what else I can do or try? It's been really frustrating, so I'm hoping for some advice.

I'm really worried about using Colgate Advanced Toothpaste on my pimples. I put it on two spots: one above my lips and one in the center of my forehead. It seemed okay the first two times, but the third time I left it on overnight and woke up with two dark brown scars. I was able to peel most of the scar on my forehead, but now there's an acne and some light pink skin around it. What's going on? Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
