I'm looking for a fairness cream that doesn't have any side effects. Can you recommend something safe? I'm really concerned about the ingredients and long-term use.

I've noticed this white spot on my lower lip on the left side that's been there for about three months now. I'm getting really concerned about it because it's making me feel pretty bad, and I'm not feeling well because of it. Can you tell me what might be causing this and if it's something I should be worried about?

I've been prescribed actame c face wash, but I can't seem to find it at any nearby pharmacies. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative? I'm really keen to know what would work similarly, as I'm unsure what to use instead.

As an alternative to Actame C face wash, consider using a face wash containing salicylic acid (around 0.5-2%) and aloe vera or tea tree oil, such as Cetaphil Salicylic Acid Face Wash, Neutrogena Salicylic Acid Acne Wash, or Himalaya Neem Face Wash, which can help with acne, inflammation, and skin soothing.

I recently went trekking and while coming down the hill, I found about five leeches on my leg. I pulled them off, and there was some blood flow, so I applied antiseptic. It's been 7 days since, and one of the bite areas is now swollen and painful. The area feels quite hard too. What should I do? Any advice would be really helpful.
