I accidentally burned my leg pretty badly on the silencer of my bike a few days ago. It's been 5 days, and instead of getting better, it's looking worse. The skin is stretching and really hurting, plus there's a liquid-filled bubble on the wound. It's about 4 cm in diameter, circular, very dark, and really sensitive now. I'm not sure what ointment to use or what precautions to take. Any advice?

I'm really concerned about what's going to happen if I stop using Skin Lite cream after using it for a few years. It's really helped improve my skin tone, but I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects once I stop. Also, could you recommend any healthy creams that can help me maintain the same skin tone?

Continue same treatment. Side-effects include itching,dryness and hypersensitivity reactions.

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.
