I'm really struggling with my skin right now. I've been using panderm plus cream for the last three years. It works well, but the side effects are messing me up. Every time I try to stop using it, my face starts itching, burning, breaking out, and gets all red and flaky in just two days. I'm desperate to stop using it but just can't handle how my skin reacts. Do you have any suggestions for something that won't have these crazy side effects and could help keep my skin clear and glowing?

Gradually reduce the use of Panderm Plus, switch to a gentle moisturizer, and consider using acne treatment options that dont involve steroids. Consulting with a dermatologist is always a great next step to find a tailored solution for your skin.

Can Henna be applied on oily hair?

Henna is good for oily scalp as it causes dryness in addition to nutritioning the hair. If your hair is too dirty or oily then henna may not have a needed effect, so it is suggestable to wash with plain water, pat dry and then apply henna.

I'm noticing these round-shaped rashes popping up in different spots on my skin. They kinda look like a fungal infection. Sometimes they itch a little, but they aren't super red. I've been using Micozel on them. What else should I be doing or looking out for?

If it is indeed a fungal infection, antifungal creams like Micozel should help clear it up over time. However, if you don't see improvement within a couple of weeks, or if you suspect the issue could be something else, its a good idea to visit a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
