I had an accident a few days ago and ended up with three stitches on the back of my head. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Soframycin on them. What do you think? Should I be careful about anything while applying it?

I'm really worried because after using Cosmolite cream, my face turned black. I've been dealing with a lot of skin issues since then. I've seen several dermatologists but nothing has helped. Facials haven't worked either. I now have blackheads, pigmentation, and dark circles. What can I do to fix all of this?

Continue same treatment.

I'm curious about Obril Cream and its effects. Does it act as a bleaching agent on pigmentation? Also, if I use it and then go out in the sun, could it possibly lead to more tanning? What if I apply it at night and then head outside the next daywould that be okay?

Kozicare cream is advised.Side-effects include itching and hypersensitivity reactions
