I used a skin lightening cream for two days, and now my skin is red. I stopped using it, but I'm worried. Could anything happen to my skin because of this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It sounds like you may be experiencing a reaction to the skin lightening cream. To help with the redness and any potential irritation, you can apply a gentle moisturizer to soothe the skin. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) to help with any itching or discomfort. Make sure to avoid using the cream again and if the redness persists or worsens, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI've got a dark brown burn mark on my upper lip from the wax I used yesterday. I'm really worried about it and was hoping you could recommend an ointment or something to help it go away quickly. Any advice?
I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection and promote healing of the burn patch. Apply a thin layer of Neosporin over the affected area twice a day for faster recovery. Additionally, you can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin and reduce inflammation.

I've been experiencing a really concerning amount of hair loss over the past few months. It seems like almost 200-300 hairs are falling out every day, and it all started after I got married. Before that, my hair was really healthy and strong. I'm sending a photo showing today's hair fall. Can you suggest what I should do? I'm quite worried.
