I'm dealing with a water allergy, and it's causing me a lot of discomfort every time I take a bath because I get really itchy all over. My doctor prescribed Althrocin 500 for this, but I'm not sure if that's normal for treating something like this. Is there something else I should be aware of, or any other treatments I might need to consider?

Is it alright to use Ban A Tan cream regularly given it only has natural ingredients? I'm just curious if its safe for daily use.

Although Banana Tan cream contains natural ingredients, it's essential to exercise caution and patch test before using it daily, as natural ingredients can still cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, or interact with other products, so start with a small area and monitor your skin's response.

I had an accident about 15 days ago and got hit near my eye. Now that the wound has healed, I've noticed dark marks forming there, and they seem to be getting even darker. I'm really worried about it. I'm currently using MemopiHC cream, and I'm wondering if I should continue with it or if there's a better option out there. If you think this is something serious, should I see a doctor right away?

no need to worry,such scars would take time to heal ,you can continue the cream that your using now and donot scratch the affected area.
