I'm on the lookout for a cream that's good for fairness that won't come with any side effects and that I can use for the long run, especially since I have oily skin. Do you have any recommendations?

For fairness and to address oily skin in the long run, you can consider using a cream containing "Kojic acid" and "Niacinamide". One such cream is "Kojivit Plus Gel". It can be applied twice daily on the affected areas after cleansing the skin. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream.

I'm dealing with alopecia barbae and it's really stressing me out. I'm desperate to find out what the best treatment options are to help manage or hopefully overcome this. Also, how much time does it typically take to see any improvements?

Alopecia barbae, which is a type of hair loss that affects the beard area, can be treated with minoxidil solution. You can apply minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the affected area.
