I'm looking for alternatives to skin lightening creams that won't thin my facial skin or cause any redness. I want to steer clear of products containing steroids. Can you suggest any options that are safe and effective?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
An alternative cream that does not contain steroids and is gentler on the skin is "Kojivit Plus Gel". It contains kojic acid, arbutin, and vitamin C which help in skin lightening without thinning the skin or causing redness. You can apply a thin layer of Kojivit Plus Gel on the affected areas of the face once at night.

View allI'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection that's been bothering me for about 4 years now and I'm also overweight. I've heard about a medication called Itaspor that might help with antifungal infections. Do you think it could be effective for my situation?
Itaspor (Itraconazole) is a well-established antifungal medication, effective against various fungal infections, including: 1. Dermatophyte infections (e.g., ringworm, athlete's foot) 2. Candidiasis (e.g., thrush, vaginal yeast infections) 3. Aspergillosis However, considering your 4-year history of fungal infections and being overweight, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the best course of treatment. Factors to Consider 1. Type and severity of infection: Your doctor will assess the type of fungal infection and its severity to determine the most effective treatment. 2. Underlying health conditions: Being overweight can increase the risk of developing certain health conditions, such as diabetes, which can affect the immune system and fungal infection treatment. 3. Potential interactions with other medications: Your doctor will review your medication list to ensure that Itaspor doesn't interact with other medications you're taking. 4. Liver function: Itraconazole can affect liver function, so your doctor may monitor your liver enzymes during treatment.

I've had this white mark on my skin where I used to place a bindi, and it's been there for about a year. I stopped using the bindi because I thought the glue might be causing it, and switched to sindoor, but that didn't help either. The white spot has grown and now it itches, so I can't even use sindoor or tika on it. I'm 60 years old and I'm worried about what this could be. Could you please advise?
That could be due to allergy,visit dermatologist for appropriate management because that might need nourishing moisturiser and steroid based lotion

I'm really struggling with a fungal infection and it's just getting worse. I've tried using ebernet and nadibact plus, among other things, but nothing seems to work. It keeps spreading. Could you advise which specific medicine might actually help me? I'm genuinely worried about this.
use medicine
