I'm having a hard time getting rid of sweat smell from my armpits even after washing them thoroughly when I shower. I use deodorant and apply talcum powder afterward, but the smell just seems to come back. Do you have any advice on how to deal with this?

I'm dealing with acne and dark spots, and I started using melalite cream. Is it actually safe for me to use this cream? Are there any risks or side effects I should know about? I'm just a bit worried and want to make sure I'm not doing more harm than good.
Melalite cream contains hydroquinone which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, it is important to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional as prolonged use of hydroquinone can have side effects such as skin irritation, redness, or a bluish-black darkening of the skin. It is recommended to use melalite cream in a thin layer on the affected areas once daily at night.

I'm dealing with moderate acne and hyperpigmentation, and my skin type is combination and acne-prone. I'm wondering if an azelaic acid suspension would be more effective for me as a gel or cream. I've tried tretinoin before, but it always causes breakouts. Right now, I'm using a 10% niacinamide serum from Minimalist, followed by aloe vera gel and tea tree oil as a moisturizer. Can you recommend something that might work better for me, other than tretinoin and isotretinoin?
