I'm really concerned about using Diprovate. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? How severe can they be? Also, is there a chance it could cause pimples or any kind of skin damage?

View allI've been using hydroquinone in the past to get flawless skin, and it worked really well for me. But then I had an acne breakout, so I stopped using it and switched to benzoyl peroxide cream. That cleared up my pimples, but now my skin is dark and pigmented. I'm not sure if I should start using hydroquinone again for the hyperpigmentation or if a chemical peel would be a better option. What do you think would work best for my situation?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I've been using a procapil solution for a couple of months now, but I haven't noticed any improvement in my hair fall. I'm quite concerned about whether I should stop using it. If I discontinue it, will it cause my hair fall to worsen? I'm really worried and would appreciate some guidance.
Procapil is a combination of biotinoyl tripeptide-1, apigenin, and oleanolic acid, commonly found in hair growth products. If you have not seen any improvement in hair fall after 2 months of use, it may be appropriate to discontinue it. Discontinuing procapil solution is not known to cause an increase in hair fall. You can consider switching to minoxidil solution, which is a commonly used medication for hair growth. The recommended dosage for minoxidil solution is typically 1 milliliter applied to the scalp twice daily.

I'm really worried about my hair fall issue. I was diagnosed with something called telogen effluvium and my doctor recommended biotee plus for three months. But even after taking it all this time, I'm not seeing any improvement. Is it safe to keep taking the biotin supplement for longer? How long can I actually continue with this?
