I'm dealing with some tanning on my face and I'm really looking for help. Can you recommend a cream or any other solution that can get rid of the tanning without causing any side effects? I'm a bit worried about trying new products on my skin, so any safe suggestions would be really appreciated.

I recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such cream is Melalite Forte cream. Apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected areas of your face once at night. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to prevent further tanning.

I've been struggling with hair fall for about 8 years now, and I've lost most of the hair on the top of my headit's mostly just the sides left. I've just started taking keraglo men tablets and evion capsules, and I'm using Dabur Amla oil for scalp massages. Do you think this will actually help my hair grow back? I'm really worried and just want to know if I'm on the right track or if there's something else I should be doing.

yes continue all the medications..

I'm a bit concerned about this hard lump that's been on my left cheek for about two years now. It's about the size of half a small potato, and while it's not painful, I'm worried about what it could be. Any thoughts on what might be going on?
