I'm thinking about starting a vitamin C supplement to help with my skin, but I'm not sure which tablets are good. Also, how long would I be able to take them safely?

I used a skin lightening cream for two days, and now my skin is red. I stopped using it, but I'm worried. Could anything happen to my skin because of this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a reaction to the skin lightening cream. To help with the redness and any potential irritation, you can apply a gentle moisturizer to soothe the skin. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) to help with any itching or discomfort. Make sure to avoid using the cream again and if the redness persists or worsens, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with psoriasis for almost 15 years now and have tried numerous medications, but I haven't had any luck in clearing it up. I'm really wondering if there's any proper and permanent treatment out there for this condition. Could you share any insights or advice?
while there's no definitive "cure" for psoriasis, various treatments can help manage and control symptoms; consider consulting a dermatologist about advanced therapies like biologics (e.g., etanercept, adalimumab), apremilast, or JAK inhibitors, which have shown significant efficacy in achieving and maintaining clearance, especially for moderate-to-severe cases
