I'm looking for an alternative to Melacare cream that's just as effective. Can you suggest something?

If you're looking for an alternative to Melacare cream, consider options like Kojic Acid Cream, which helps reduce melanin production and hyperpigmentation

I'm worried because I applied chuna powder on my mole, and now it's healing. How long will it take to heal completely? Will there be any scars? Can you recommend any ointments I can get in India to speed up the healing process?

It is important to keep the area clean and protected while it heals. You can apply Silverex cream twice a day to help with the healing process and reduce the risk of scarring. Make sure to consult a doctor if you notice any signs of infection or if the mole does not heal properly.

I've been using Neutrogena sunscreen for quite some time, but after running out and not using it for about a week, I noticed it started causing breakouts when I applied it again. I have acne-prone and combination skin, so I'm really concerned. What sunscreen would work best for me?

It is important to choose a sunscreen that is non-comedogenic and oil-free to prevent further breakouts. I recommend trying "La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Dry Touch Sunscreen SPF 60". Apply a generous amount to your face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every 2 hours or immediately after swimming or sweating. This sunscreen is specifically designed for acne-prone skin and provides high protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

I'm 21 and I'm worried because I still don't have a proper beard or mustache growth. Is there something I can do to help them grow?

Facial hair growth can be influenced by genetics and hormones. One option to promote beard and mustache growth is to use Minoxidil solution 5%. You can apply it on the areas where you want hair growth twice a day. It may take several months to see results, so patience is key. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.
