I'm looking for an alternative cream for treating inflammatory skin infections like eczema, especially when there's a fungal or bacterial aspect involved. I've been using Lymarin cream, but I'm not sure if it's available or effective here in India. Any suggestions?

I'm noticing that my skin gets fairer when I use Skinlite and Kozicare creams, but if I stop using them, it becomes darker again. Is it safe to keep using these skin whitening creams all the time, or could that cause problems down the line?

Using skin whitening creams like Skinlite and Kozicare long-term can harm your skin, as they often contain steroids or harsh chemicals that cause dependency and side effects like thinning skin or pigmentation issues. Its better to stop them and consult a dermatologist for safer alternatives to manage skin tone or pigmentation. Focus on a healthy skincare routine with sunscreen and gentle products.

I'm worried about a red perfect circle above my boyfriend's pubic area. He thinks it might just be an ingrown hair, but I'm not so sure. Could it be something else? Any advice would be helpful.

I've had this flat black mole under my right armpit for a long time, and it hasn't really bothered me. But a few days ago, I noticed some soreness in that area and felt like my lymph nodes were swollen, which only lasted for two days. It happened right when I got my period, so I'm not sure if theyre related. Now, I've started to feel pain in the mole, especially when I touch it or stretch my arm. I haven't shaved my underarms in a while, so that could have caused some of the discomfort too. Should I be concerned about this?
