I've been using Dremz ultra cream for post-inflammatory pigmentation for about two weeks now. I'm wondering if it's okay to keep using it for a longer period of time, and how would I know when to stop? Also, are there any side effects if I suddenly stop using it? Could you explain all this to me in detail?

Dremz Ultra cream, containing ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, and niacinamide, is typically used for 2-3 months to address post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH); using it for an extended period may lead to skin irritation, dryness, or increased sensitivity; to avoid rebound hyperpigmentation, gradual tapering of the cream is recommended when stopping, such as reducing frequency or switching to a maintenance product, and side effects from sudden cessation are unlikely, but may include mild skin irritation or recurrence of PIH.

I'm considering getting another chemical peel for my acne because a doctor recommended it and also suggested using a skin lightening cream. I'm curious if it's okay to go ahead with both treatments. Would you say that using the skin whitening cream and continuing with the chemical peel is a safe and effective plan, or should I be concerned about any side effects or issues? What do you think I should do?

-Yes, you can continue with the chemical peels and skin-lightening cream if recommended by your doctor. Follow their advice closely, use sunscreen daily, and monitor your skin's response to avoid irritation.

I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've got barely any facial hair. I'm really curious about what kind of doctor I should talk to about this beard growth issue. I feel like everyone else my age has a bit more going on in the facial hair department, and it's kind of worrying me. Could it be something to do with hormones or maybe genetics? Any advice on who to consult would be awesome.

At your age, it is common to have minimal facial hair growth. You can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and discussion of treatment options. In some cases, minoxidil solution can be prescribed to promote facial hair growth.
