I'm really worried about my skin. I've been using this fair cream from Zee Drugs for about a year now, and I'm noticing some issues. If I skip using it for just a day, I get these small pimple-like things near my nose and all over my forehead. The longer I don't use it, the redder and itchier they become. And when I do use the cream again, my nose becomes covered with pimples that won't go away. Can someone please help me figure out what's going on and what I should do about it?

I'm having issues with my tongue the skin is peeling, it's really painful, and I can't eat anything. Could you recommend any medicine for this? Do you think those Vitamin C chewable tablets would be helpful?

Could be due to a condition called oral mucositis. Vitamin C chewable tablets may not directly help with this issue. I recommend using a topical oral gel containing a local anesthetic like lidocaine to help with the pain and a mouthwash containing a mild antiseptic like chlorhexidine gluconate to prevent infection. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
