I applied lime on a mole on my face on August 1st, 2017, and it led to a burn. The burned skin came off on August 7th, but now the area is red. I'm currently using Fucidin ointment as advised by my doctor, but it's still red. My engagement is on August 25th, 2017. Can you suggest how I can heal it or make it better?

Given the burn injury and prolonged redness, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice; in addition to Fucidin ointment, apply topical treatments like aloe vera gel, silicone sheets, or vitamin E oil to promote healing and reduce redness; also, try cool compresses, avoid direct sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to minimize scarring and hyperpigmentation, and hopefully, your skin will improve by your engagement date.

I'm really curious about something. I've been using Fair and Lovely cream for the past six months, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should know about. Also, I'm a bit worried that if I stop using it, my face might get darker again. Is that something I should expect?
Fair and Lovely cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, which can cause side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin with long-term use. It is not recommended to use hydroquinone-containing products for extended periods of time without medical supervision. If you stop using the cream, your skin may revert back to its original condition, but it is important to transition to a different skincare routine to maintain the results. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on alternative skincare products.

I'm worried about the possibility of having sex with my husband while he's still being treated for scabies. He's only put on the cream twice, and we're noticing his skin starting to dry up in those spots. Is it okay for us to be intimate now, or should we wait a bit longer?
It's generally recommended to avoid intimate contact, including sex, until your husband has completed the full scabies treatment course, usually 2-3 applications of permethrin cream, 7-10 days apart, and has been symptom-free for at least 24-48 hours, to minimize the risk of transmission, as scabies mites can survive off the human host for up to 72 hours.
