I'm really worried about using Colgate Advanced Toothpaste on my pimples. I put it on two spots: one above my lips and one in the center of my forehead. It seemed okay the first two times, but the third time I left it on overnight and woke up with two dark brown scars. I was able to peel most of the scar on my forehead, but now there's an acne and some light pink skin around it. What's going on? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I'm considering getting another chemical peel for my acne because a doctor recommended it and also suggested using a skin lightening cream. I'm curious if it's okay to go ahead with both treatments. Would you say that using the skin whitening cream and continuing with the chemical peel is a safe and effective plan, or should I be concerned about any side effects or issues? What do you think I should do?

-Yes, you can continue with the chemical peels and skin-lightening cream if recommended by your doctor. Follow their advice closely, use sunscreen daily, and monitor your skin's response to avoid irritation.

I'm looking to lighten my skin by 3 to 4 shades because I have a brownish complexion and really want a fairer skin tone. I've tried loads of natural remedies, but they're so slow and don't last. I'm really curious about a more permanent solution. Is there a full-body skin bleaching treatment available in Guwahati? If so, what's the cost involved? And are there specific steps I need to follow to achieve and maintain that lighter skin tone permanently?
