I'm looking for a permanent solution for skin whitening. I'm tired of using all these temporary fixes and would love to know if there's a lasting and effective method to get the result I'm looking for. Can you help guide me?

For permanent skin whitening, you can consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone in combination with tretinoin and corticosteroids. One such effective brand is Tri-Luma cream. It is usually applied once daily in the evening. However, it is important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as prolonged use can have side effects. Additionally, using sunscreen with a high SPF is crucial to prevent darkening of the skin due to sun exposure.

Consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. It is important to rule out any serious conditions.

I'm worried about the possibility of having sex with my husband while he's still being treated for scabies. He's only put on the cream twice, and we're noticing his skin starting to dry up in those spots. Is it okay for us to be intimate now, or should we wait a bit longer?
It's generally recommended to avoid intimate contact, including sex, until your husband has completed the full scabies treatment course, usually 2-3 applications of permethrin cream, 7-10 days apart, and has been symptom-free for at least 24-48 hours, to minimize the risk of transmission, as scabies mites can survive off the human host for up to 72 hours.
