I'm really grateful for your helpful response last time. I'm happy with the service you provide for patients. I've got another question, though. My skin texture isn't great there's some acne left even though I'm on medication and seeing a dermatologist. Theres also some pigmentation. My previous dermatologist gave me SabiGlow cream for skin lightening and to help with the pigmentation. Do you think this will help lighten my skin? I've got a wheatish skin tone, and Im curious if it's safe to use. I also stopped using propyzole nf cream after reading your review. You suggested Cetaphil DAM cream, but my skin is oily. It gets a bit dry right after washing, but gets oily again soon after. Can I still use Cetaphil DAM cream with my oily skin?

Sabi-Glow cream can be effective for lightening pigmentation and improving skin texture, but make sure you use it under the guidance of your dermatologist and always wear sunscreen. For your oily skin, you may want to adjust your moisturizer. Cetaphil DAM could be too heavy, but you can try using a smaller amount or consider switching to a lighter moisturizer like Cetaphil oil-free or a gel-based option.

I've noticed these weird goosebump-like rashes on my skin, mostly on my arms, and now there's one on my cheek too. They're lighter than my normal skin tone and itch sometimes. I've been using Flucort, and they seem to disappear, but I'm still concerned. What could be causing these rashes, and should I keep using Flucort or try something else? Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm a 28-year-old woman, 5 feet tall and weighing 48 kg. Lately, I've been feeling like insects are crawling all over my body, and it's worse when I'm working in water. I have no known allergies or other major health issues, and I don't smoke or drink. I've been on homeopathy medicine, but it's not helping. Plus, I've been experiencing pain in my joints. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been dealing with this annoying fungal skin infection. It's this jock itch thing, causing a circular-shaped itchy rash, and I think it might be ringworm. It's changing the skin color around my groin area and inner thigh. Could you suggest any Ayurvedic remedies that might help? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.
