I'm currently breastfeeding my baby, who's 9 months old now. I'm curious if it's safe for me to use alpha arbutin and hyaluronic acid during this time. Could there be any effects on my baby or my milk supply? I'm just looking for a safe way to take care of my skin without any risks.

  1. Clarification: Males do not breastfeed, so the question about a 27-year-old male breastfeeding is not applicable.

  2. Alpha Arbutin:

    • A skin-lightening agent used in topical skincare.
    • Safe for topical use with minimal systemic absorption.
  3. Hyaluronic Acid:

    • A moisturizing agent in skincare.
    • Safe for topical application.
  4. Breastfeeding Concerns:

    • No risk to milk supply or baby since males do not produce breast milk.
    • If intended for a lactating female, both ingredients are generally safe for topical use during breastfeeding.
  5. Recommendation:

    • Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice if needed.

What's the cost of getting laser treatment for tanning on my face? I'd really like to know about any changes I might see afterward and if there are any side effects. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it generally safe? I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on this.

The cost of laser treatment for your face regarding tanning can range from Rs 1,000 to Rs 30,000 per session in India. The treatment can help reduce tanning, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone by targeting melanin and promoting collagen production. As for side effects, you may experience minor and temporary issues like redness, pain, or infections, but these can be minimized by choosing a reputable clinic and experienced dermatologist.

I'm really worried about my daughter. She's been dealing with angular cheilitis for the past 15 days. We went to the doctor and he recommended using this cream called Activities, but it hasn't helped at all. In fact, she's now got some kind of allergic reaction, with small red spots near her lower lips and face. It's also itchy and painful. I read online that this cream shouldn't be swallowed, and I'm wondering if that's what's causing the issue since she might have accidentally ingested some. I'm not sure what to do next. Can you help us figure out what's going on and what steps we should take?

calasoft lotion is advised to the patient.if any allergic reactions dermat opinion is advised.
