I'm a breastfeeding mom and I'm worried about the skincare products I should or shouldn't use. I'm considering using a sunscreen day cream and wondering if it's safe. Also, I'm thinking about trying an anti-aging cream from Himalaya. Do you think these products are okay for me to use while I'm nursing?

Yes, sunscreen day cream can be safely used by a breastfeeding mother. Look for a sunscreen that is labeled as safe for use during breastfeeding. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, and reapply every 2 hours if you are outdoors. As for the anti-ageing cream by Himalaya, it is generally safe to use during breastfeeding. However, it is always recommended to do a patch test before applying it to larger areas of the skin to check for any allergic reactions. Follow the instructions on the packaging for the correct application.

My palms and feet sweat excessively and it's really bothering me. Is there any permanent treatment or surgery that can stop this? I've tried everything but nothing seems to work long-term.
Excessive sweating (palms/feet) may respond to iontophoresis or Botox; thoracic sympathectomy is a surgical cure but has risks like compensatory sweating.
