How should I apply CANDID TV SUSPENSION for these small white patches on my face? The dermatologist said it's tinea versicolor. I'm a bit concerned about using it on facial skin. Is there anything specific I need to do or watch out for?

To use Candid TV Suspension for tinea versicolor on the face, apply a thin layer to the affected area, gently massaging it in, twice a day for 2-4 weeks, while avoiding eye contact and taking sun protection measures, and follow up with your dermatologist to monitor progress.

I'm really worried because my daughter accidentally spilled hot tea on her chest, and now she has about three spots, each around an inch, that got burned.

I accidentally got some dettol on my forehead today, and now I've got this dark mark. It doesnt hurt or anything, but it just looks terrible. I'm already getting treatment for pimples, but my doctor is out of town. Can you tell me how long it might take for this mark to heal?

You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Silverex cream twice a day to prevent infection. Additionally, you can use a scar removal gel like Contractubex to help reduce the appearance of the dark mark. It usually takes about 1-2 weeks for minor burns to heal, but the dark mark may take longer to fade. Make sure to protect the area from sun exposure to prevent further darkening of the mark.
