View allI'm really worried about some skin issues I've been facing. I tried using apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, and multani mitti on a few spots on my face. I left it on for about 20 minutes and washed it off. But then, those areas turned frosted and by the next morning, they started to look brown. I made the mistake of trying to peel them off and now it feels like it's burning a lot, with pinkish skin showing underneath. I'm really concerned about scarring. I'm currently using hydrocortisone 1 cream and keeping the areas moisturized, but I'm not sure what else I should do. How long will it take for my skin to heal and return to normal? Any advice or precautions would be really appreciated.
Discontinue the use of harsh products. Moisturize and hydrate the skin using gentle products. Use hydrocortisone cream sparingly for inflammation, but do not overuse. Avoid picking, scratching, or peeling the skin. Protect the area from the sun and ensure proper healing. With proper care, the skin should heal within 1-2 weeks for mild burns, but more severe cases may take longer. Please continue to monitor the healing process, and if the situation does not improve or worsens, consider seeing a dermatologist.

My friend has really dry skin and he's thinking about trying Dr. Reddy's Venusia cream. We're both curious if it's a good option for him. Are there any side effects we should be aware of?
Venusia cream by Dr. Reddy's is a moisturizing cream containing urea, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid, which can effectively help lock in moisture, soothe dry skin, and support skin elasticity; however, as with any new skincare product, patch testing is recommended

Can I use Mediker or other shampoos to treat lice in my hair while I'm breastfeeding my 2-month-old son? I'm a little worried about how it might affect him. Could using such products be harmful to my baby?
It is not recommended to use Mediker or any other lice treatment shampoos while breastfeeding. These products contain chemicals that can be harmful to your baby. Instead, you can use a fine-toothed comb to remove the lice and their eggs manually. Additionally, you can consult with your healthcare provider for safe and effective treatment options that are compatible with breastfeeding.
