I had some fish earlier and then drank buttermilk about an hour later. Now, my dad mentioned that combining the two might lead to skin issues. I'm kind of worried since I already had the buttermilk. Is there something I can do to prevent any skin problems, or is there anything I should be on the lookout for?

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that simultaneous intake of milk and fish is harmful to the body or skin in any way.

I've been taking Becadexamine multivitamins for the past three weeks and I've noticed my skin has become fairer. Is this typical? Is that how multivitamins usually work? Also, when's the best time to take them?

It is not common for multivitamins to directly cause changes in skin color. Becadexamine is a multivitamin supplement that contains essential vitamins and minerals. The change in your skin color may be due to other factors or could be unrelated to the multivitamin intake. The right time to take multivitamins is usually in the morning with breakfast to help ensure optimal absorption.
