I'm looking for a good skin brightening cream for my face that doesnt have any side effects. Right now, Im using a glycolic acid cream with a concentration of 6. Do you think this could lead to any side effects?

Glycolic acid cream 6% can cause side effects such as redness, irritation, dryness, and peeling of the skin, especially if not used properly. It is important to use sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid to prevent sun sensitivity. As for a skin brightening cream without side effects, you can try using "Kojic acid cream" in the evening. Start by applying a small amount every other night to see how your skin reacts, and gradually increase to nightly use if tolerated well. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

View allSo I've been dealing with this fungal infection on my mouth, forehead, belly, and thighs, and it's just so frustrating. Ive tried all sorts of creams like terbinafine, pendrum, and lulifine, but it just keeps coming back. I'm really worried about this and not sure what to do next. Any advice on how I can get rid of it for good?
Fungal infections can be stubborn and may require a different approach for effective treatment. I recommend trying a combination of oral antifungal medication along with topical creams for better results. You can take tablet Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks along with applying clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm really worried about this condition on my leg. There's something like "KARATMarathi" there, and the blood around it has just turned into a solid red clot under my skin. It looks really concerning and I'm unsure if what I'm doing is right. I've started taking DISPERZYME and CEFCHAMP 325, twice every day, as prescribed. Do you think I'm on the right track to treat this issue, or should I consider something else?
Karat (Marathi word) typically refers to a boil or abscess.

I'm really worried because my armpits have been burning a lot lately, and I've tried using Aloe vera gel, but now there's a ton of itching. I was considering laser treatment to help with these awful dark spots on my skin, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. What do you think I should do?
