I'm thinking about stopping my use of Melacare. Can you suggest another cream that can help change my skin tone and make it look fairer? I'm a bit concerned about finding the right alternative.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If someone stops using Melacare cream, they can consider using a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone furoate. One such cream is called "Skinlite Cream." It should be used once daily at night for a limited duration under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

View allI'm struggling with my curly and dry hair, and I'm on the lookout for a good shampoo and conditioner. I've heard that it's important for these products to be paraben and SLS free, and Im wondering if that's really necessary or if sticking to a reputable brand would be just as effective. What do dermatologists generally think about using paraben and SLS-free products?
Sebamed shampoo is advised to the patient.

I'm curious about getting rid of some old blade cut marks I've had on my arm for almost 8 years now. What's the best way to treat them, and what kind of cost should I expect?
To remove old blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider undergoing laser therapy. Laser therapy can help reduce the appearance of scars by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration. One commonly used medication for this purpose is Mederma, which is a topical gel containing onion extract. It is recommended to apply Mederma on the scar twice daily for at least 3 months to see visible results. Additionally, silicone gel sheets like ScarAway can also be used to flatten and fade the scars. As for the cost, the price of laser therapy sessions can vary depending on the size and severity of the scars, as well as the number of sessions required.
