View allI've recently stopped using Medisalic, which I'd been using for a couple of years due to a skin allergy. I'm looking for some cream and face wash options that won't have side effects and can help keep my skin healthy and glowing. Can you suggest anything?

I've been using Santoor soap, but my skin just isn't glowing like I want it to. Could you recommend the best whitening or fairness soap for someone with oily skin? I'm really looking for something that can work wonders for me.
For oily skin and skin whitening, I recommend using Kojie San Skin Lightening Soap. It contains kojic acid which helps in skin whitening and brightening. Use it twice a day for best results.

I've been dealing with this persistent eczema on my upper lip that only seems to go away when I take Allegra for five days. But as soon as I stop, it comes right back. Is there anything else I can try that might offer a more permanent solution? I'm really worried it won't improve long-term, and I'm curious why the Allegra works but only temporarily.
You can try using a topical corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% on the affected area to reduce inflammation and itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for Allegra and consult with your doctor if you have any concerns.
