I'm curious about the safety of using Veet hair removal wax cream. Is it bad for the skin at all, like could it lead to cancer or other skin problems? I've got quite a bit of hair and I'm looking to find a safe way to remove it. Your advice would be super helpful!

Veet hair removal wax cream is generally safe for use on the skin for hair removal. It is unlikely to cause cancer or serious skin issues when used according to the instructions. However, some individuals may experience skin irritation, redness, or allergic reactions to the ingredients in the cream. It is always recommended to do a patch test before using it on larger areas of the skin. If you do not experience any adverse reactions, you can proceed with using the cream. Make sure to follow the recommended usage and application instructions to minimize any potential risks.

View allI'm using Eloson HT cream for quite a while, and everything seemed fine. But whenever I stop using it for about 23 days, my skin gets darker. Can you suggest what I should do about this? Also, are there any other creams I could use to make my skin look a bit fairer? Not looking for a huge change, just a little brighter.
Please stop using elosone ht cream as it contains strong steroids which will cause serious side effects. Steroid induced pimples, photosensitivity that is sun sensitivity, rosacea that is red face, atrophy that is skin thinning, stretch marks, pigmentation, dryness, severe itching and hair growth on the face etc to name a few side effects. Reports of skin cancer are also there. Please don't use any such Steroid containing fairness creams. You will require treatment to slowly put you off this cream by using some substitute as the skin becomes addicted to the steroid. Hence you are facing such a problem

I'm really struggling with jock itch and it's been about 6 months now. I've been using apple cider vinegar on the area, and while it's helped a bit, it's not gone completely. Now I'm getting these boils popping up there and even on my face one after the other. Can someone tell me what treatment will actually get rid of this for good?

I've noticed my tongue has turned white and looks coated over the past week. I tried looking it up online and experimented with some home remedies like brushing with salt and gargling with water, but nothing seems to work. Can you recommend other methods that might help?
