I'm really worried about my daughter. She's been dealing with angular cheilitis for the past 15 days. We went to the doctor and he recommended using this cream called Activities, but it hasn't helped at all. In fact, she's now got some kind of allergic reaction, with small red spots near her lower lips and face. It's also itchy and painful. I read online that this cream shouldn't be swallowed, and I'm wondering if that's what's causing the issue since she might have accidentally ingested some. I'm not sure what to do next. Can you help us figure out what's going on and what steps we should take?

View allI'm trying to figure out how to gradually stop using Melacare cream because I'm experiencing some side effects like dry skin and facial hair growth. I'm also looking for a recommendation on a different fairness cream that won't cause these issues. Can you help me out with this?
To stop using Melacare cream without losing fairness: *Tapering Off Melacare Cream* 1. *Gradual reduction*: Reduce the frequency of application over 2-4 weeks (e.g., from daily to every other day, then to twice a week). 2. *Dilute the cream*: Mix Melacare cream with a moisturizer (1:1 ratio) to reduce its potency. 3. *Replace with a moisturizer*: Once you've tapered off Melacare, switch to a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer. *Alternative Fairness Creams* 1. *Kojic acid-based creams*: Kojivit, Kojic acid cream, or La Roche-Posay Mela-D Pigment Control. 2. *Niacinamide-based creams*: Olay Regenerist, Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair, or Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster. 3. *Vitamin C-based creams*: Olay Vitamin C, Neutrogena Vitamin C, or Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare C+ Collagen Brighten and Firm Serum. *Addressing Side Effects* 1. *Dry skin*: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer. 2. *Facial hair growth*: Consider waxing, threading, or consulting a dermatologist for hair reduction treatments. Consult a dermatologist before starting any new skincare products to ensure they suit your skin type and concerns.

I'm really worried and need some advice. I've been using minoxidil for about 8 months now, but I'm unsure how to safely stop it. My hair has become very thin and my scalp is quite visible. What could be causing these issues with my scalp?

I'm really curious about using vitamin E and fish liver oil tablets for my hair care. I got the vitamin E 400mg and cod liver oil B.P 300mg tablets from a pharmacy, but I'm unsure about the right dosage. How many of these can I safely take each day? Can you help me figure this out?
Vitamin E and cod liver oil can be beneficial for hair care, but it's essential to follow proper dosages to avoid adverse effects. Recommended Dosages 1. Vitamin E (400mg): The recommended daily intake of vitamin E varies from 15mg to 20mg. Taking 400mg per day is significantly higher than the recommended amount. High doses of vitamin E can cause adverse effects like headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Consider taking 1 tablet (400mg) every 2-3 days. 2. Cod Liver Oil B.P (300mg): Cod liver oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D. The recommended daily intake of cod liver oil varies from 1000mg to 3000mg. Taking 1-2 tablets (300mg each) per day should be safe.
