I'm dealing with eczema and I've been using luliconazole for it. I'm concerned about whether it's a topical steroid cream and if this could be harmful to my skin. I've also heard that steroids might increase the risk of lymphoma. Could you help clarify this for me?

Luliconazole is not a steroid cream, it is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal skin infections. It is generally safe for use on the skin and does not carry the same risks as topical steroid creams. However, like any medication, it may cause side effects such as skin irritation or redness at the application site. If you have concerns about using topical steroids for eczema, you can discuss alternative treatment options with your healthcare provider.

I'm 15 and I've been thinking about trying these glutathione 1500mg ivory caps for my skin. But I'm kinda worried about whether it's safe for someone my age. Also, I read somewhere that if you stop taking them, your skin won't go back to its original color. Is that true? Would really appreciate some advice on this.

true and you are too young to consume it consult your doctor

I've noticed some lumps in my mons pubis area about a month after I shaved there. They're not very big, just a bit red, and they only hurt when I touch or gently push them. I'm thinking it might be an abscess from shaving. I'm not married, so I'm wondering if there's an antibiotic cream you could recommend or if you have any other suggestions for what might help?

I've been dealing with some pimples on my face, and my dermatologist advised me to use Melapik Ever cream at night along with the Lumiedge bathing bar. After trying it for just one day, I started experiencing itching, burning sensations, and extreme dryness on my face. Plus, my skin has gotten noticeably darker. Now, the doctor suggested switching to Kojiglow Forte cream. Could you let me know if this is the right move? I'm a bit concerned.

It is possible that your skin is sensitive to the ingredients in these products. Kojiglow Forte cream contains Kojic acid, Arbutin, and Vitamin C which are commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin. If you continue to experience itching, burning, extreme dryness, or any other discomfort, I recommend stopping the use of all products and consulting with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
