I'm really worried about my maid because she's been using this dermikem oc cream for like two years now. She wants to stop using it, but every time she tries, her face gets all rashy and super itchy. What can we do about this?

Dermikem OC cream is a topical corticosteroid cream used to treat various skin conditions, including eczema, dermatitis, and allergies.

View allI usually bathe about four times a week. I'm feeling really tired lately, and I'm also concerned because I can't seem to stop watching porn videos. Could this be affecting my health, and is there something I should be worried about?
It is important to moisturize your skin after bathing to help maintain its health. Feeling very tired could be a sign of various underlying health issues, such as poor sleep quality, stress, or anemia. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, balanced diet, and adequate sleep to combat fatigue. As for watching porn videos, excessive consumption can lead to addiction and have negative effects on mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. It is important to seek help if you are struggling to control your viewing habits. For fatigue, you can try taking a multivitamin supplement like Centrum once daily after meals to ensure you are getting all the necessary nutrients for energy production.

I'm really curious about something. I've been using Fair and Lovely cream for the past six months, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should know about. Also, I'm a bit worried that if I stop using it, my face might get darker again. Is that something I should expect?
Fair and Lovely cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, which can cause side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin with long-term use. It is not recommended to use hydroquinone-containing products for extended periods of time without medical supervision. If you stop using the cream, your skin may revert back to its original condition, but it is important to transition to a different skincare routine to maintain the results. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on alternative skincare products.
