I'm curious about using Lumivoid skin lightening cream for pimple marks. Is it safe to use? And how long does it usually take to see results on those marks? Can you let me know more about it?

Lumivoid skin lightening cream contains hydroquinone which is commonly used to lighten dark areas on the skin such as age spots, melasma, and pimple marks. It is generally safe to use on pimple marks, but it is important to use it as directed by your healthcare provider to avoid any potential side effects. The time it takes for Lumivoid cream to work on pimple marks can vary from person to person. In general, you may start to see some improvement in the appearance of pimple marks within a few weeks of regular use. However, it may take several weeks to months to see significant results. It is important to be patient and consistent with the application of the cream for best results.

I've been noticing some cuts in my skin near my inner thighs, and I think it's because of the dryness from the winter weather. I've already started using a moisturizer to help with the dryness, but I'm really worried about how to actually heal these skin cuts. Could you give me some advice on what else I could do?

I've been dealing with pretty bad hair loss for a while now. A couple of years back, I went to a dermatologist who suggested using Dr. Reddys Mintop 5 topical solution together with Finax 1 mg tablets for about two months, which worked really well initially. My hair loss went down, and I even saw some regrowth. But then from June 2014 until January 2017, I continued using Mintop. After that, I switched to ayurvedic and homeopathic remedies for about 45 months. Unfortunately, that seemed to make everything worse, as my hair started falling out again in clumps. I'm really worried and not sure what steps to take now. Could you give me some advice?
