I'm experiencing some itching, and then it swells up like a mosquito bite afterwards. Could you recommend any cream for this? My dad was told to use FZHH 150, IVECOP12, SIZON FORTE, HHMITE SOAP, and a couple of other creams by a doctor. Can you suggest something similar that might work for me?

I recommend you to use a cream containing Hydrocortisone and Calamine for the itching and swelling. You can apply it topically on the affected area 2-3 times a day.

I'm taking Perfectil tablets because I want to lighten my skin. It's been a week now, but I'm not sure when to expect to see any changes. Could it take a month or maybe two? I'm just wondering how long I should wait to notice a difference.

Gynaecologist opinion is advised.
