I'm really worried after using Faiza cream for 3 months. It did clear up my pimples and dark marks, and my skin looks so much fairer, which was great at first. But then I read online that it might have side effects like skin cancer, and now I'm freaking out. I'm thinking about stopping the cream, but I'm scared if that might cause any problems. Can you help me figure out what to do?

I'm getting pimples right after sex and they're all over my face. When I stop having sex, my skin gets better but I'm really bothered by the marks left behind. I'm scared to have sex because of these breakouts. What's going on and what can I do about it?

This could be due to hormonal changes or increased sweating during sexual activity leading to clogged pores. I recommend using a topical acne medication containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser like "Cetaphil" twice a day to keep your face clean. Make sure to also drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet to support skin health.

Should I wet my hair everyday?

There is no need to wet your hair daily. Depending on your scalp and hair nature, you may wash it frequently. If you have oily or greasy hair then you may wash your hair more frequently when compared to normal scalp.
