I'm really worried about something and I'm hoping you can help. I've been using No Scars cream for a while now, and I've heard rumors that using it continuously might cause cancer. Is there any truth to that? If it is possible, when would it become a risk and what causes this to happen?

I've been dealing with ringworm for a year now, and allopathy hasn't really helped. I've switched to Ayurveda, and it seems to be showing some good results. But I came across something online that mentioned Salicylic Acid or sapat lotion might work fast, like in just two days. I'm pretty frustrated at this point and would really appreciate an honest answer. Is there any truth to this idea?

I'm thinking about using Skinlite cream for just a week, and I'm a bit worried. Can using it for only seven days cause any harm? Would love your advice.

Using Skinlite cream, which contains hydroquinone, for only 7 days is unlikely to cause significant harm, but it's essential to follow the recommended usage and consult a dermatologist, as prolonged or excessive use can lead to skin darkening, irritation, or other adverse effects.
