I'm dealing with some annoying symptoms after getting bitten by a bunch of leeches about a week ago. They were pretty small, but now I've got these little bumps where they were, and the itching is driving me crazy. Any idea how I can get this itching to stop?

I've got a question about how I'm using my hair lotions. I put one on during the day after shampooing, and then I use a different one at night when I'm going to bed. Do I need to wash my hair again before putting on the night lotion, or can I just apply it straight away?

It is not necessary to wash your hair again before applying the second lotion at night. You can apply the second hair lotion without washing your hair again.

I'm wondering if it's okay to use Kozilite cream as my night cream long-term. I've been using it for about a month now and I love the results, but I recently read that using kojic acid for a long time might cause vitiligo. I have fair skin and don't have any pigmentation issues. Is it safe to keep using it?

When you have no need of it why to use it,,rather than taht you can use good moisturizers that will help in maintaining healthy skin
