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.

Alpha Arbutin:

Hyaluronic Acid:
- A moisturizing agent in skincare.

Breastfeeding Concerns:

View allI've been using Mintop for about 7 to 8 months and I'm wondering if it's safe to start taking Kerablak and Keraglo along with it. Is there any reason why I shouldn't combine these, or do you think there's a good chance they'll work well together? What should I watch out for if I do?

I'm using Ilumax skin brightening cream by Ajanta to help with tanning and get a fairer skin tone. I'm curious, how long does it usually take to start seeing results with this cream? Also, how long should I continue using it to maintain the fairness? I'm a bit worried about what happens after I stop using the cream. Will my skin get darker again? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Candid cream for local application is advised, once a day,at bed time for 2 weeks is advised.

I have a pyogenic granuloma on my scalp and I've attached a picture. Just wondering if it's harmful to leave it as it is or if it could be something serious like cancer. Also, are there any treatments I can try at home since I'm really nervous about surgery?
A pyogenic granuloma is a noncancerous growth of blood vessels on the skin, and it's generally harmless. While it's not a serious condition like cancer, it can be treated by a doctor, and leaving it unattended may lead to bleeding, ulceration, or cosmetic concerns. Home treatments are generally not recommended, and surgical removal is the most common treatment.
