I'm a 28-year-old male with a dark skin tone, and I'm looking to lighten my complexion by two shades. I've read online about some medicines that could help with this, but I'm concerned about potential side effects. Is there a treatment you would recommend that's both safe and effective?

I've used sebifin plus before to treat a fungal skin infection around my penis, and it worked well. But now, the infection's back, and I think it's because I sweat a lot when I exercise. I treated it again with sebifin and it cleared up, but now I'm worried about exercising and the infection coming back again. What should I do?

I'm really worried because I recently moved to Hyderabad and my hair's been falling out a lot. I heard it's because the water in my apartment is really hard, from bore water. I put in a shower filter and used it once, but my hair is still falling out like crazy when I comb it. What else can I do to stop this or at least fix the damage? Can you help?

I've been worried ever since I used Betnovat for a month or two last year and then stopped when I found out it could be harmful. A couple of weeks after I quit, I noticed these bumps showing up and now my skin is really sensitive and dry. Do you think these are side effects from Betnovat, and if they are, will my skin eventually recover? How long might it take for everything to get back to normal? I've started using Cetaphil cleanser and Physiogel cream, but I'm not totally sure if any of this is related to Betnovat. Could you advise on this?
