I'm considering trying out either a chemical peel or a skin laser lightening treatment to lighten my complexion a bit, both for my face and hands. There's no medical issue, I'm just curious about brightening things up a shade or two. If I go ahead with this, would you have any idea how much it might cost in Karnataka, India? Also, how much will my skin lighten after these treatments, and how long can I expect the effects to last? I'm just trying to weigh my options and figure out what might be the best approach!

I'm a 45-year-old guy and I've been using hair dye for the past 15 years, but lately I've started having allergic reactions. There's itching on my scalp and face, and my face has turned kind of blackish. I've tried different brands and types, like liquids, powder, and shampoo dyes over the years. Could you suggest a hair dye or maybe tablets that might help with these allergies, and is there an ointment that could help reduce the dark color on my face?
