I'm getting really worried about the darkening of my underarms. It all started after I began using deodorants, and even though I stopped, they just keep getting darker. I've tried several whitening creams and home remedies, but nothing seems to work. I've switched to using turmeric extract with lime and honey for the past four days. I wax my underarms regularly, and I don't have any medical issues that I know of. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

View allI got bitten by a little leech a few weeks back and it bled for a short while, but then it stopped. Now I've got this small red bump there, and it's quite itchy. Any idea what I can do to fix this?
Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .

I'm noticing these vertical brown lines on my toenails, especially on the first two toes, and I can't remember when they first showed up. I don't usually do regular pedicures, so I'm a bit concerned now. When I looked it up online, I found out it could be related to pigmentation. I also have pigmentation around my lower mouth and chin area. My skin is wheatish, and I'm 25, married, with a 19-month-old baby. Should I be worried about these toenail lines? What might be causing them, and how can I treat it?

I'm wondering about the best order to apply my skincare products. Should I put on the depiwhite cream on my cheeks first and then apply sunscreen over my whole face, or is it better to do the sunscreen first and then the depiwhite cream where I need it? I want to make sure I'm doing it right.
You should first apply the depiwhite cream to the affected area on your cheeks and then apply the sunscreen to your full face. Make sure to follow the instructions on the depiwhite cream for the correct application. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 after applying the depiwhite cream to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
