I'm trying to figure out which Vitamin C would be best for me to use on my melasma. I want something that can be applied topically or taken orally before using sunscreen. I've heard it might help protect against sun damage, but I'm a bit lost on which kind might work best. Can you offer some advice?

View allI've been dealing with sinus issues for two years now and to help with the headaches, I've been using Zandu Balm on my forehead. But over the past year, I've noticed that part of my forehead has turned completely black. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can stop this from happening?
The use of Zandu balm on your forehead for an extended period has led to a condition called "contact leukoderma" or "chemical leukoderma." What is Contact Leukoderma? Contact leukoderma is a condition where the skin loses its pigmentation due to exposure to certain chemicals or substances. In your case, the prolonged use of Zandu balm has caused the skin on your forehead to lose its pigmentation, resulting in the black discoloration. How to Avoid Further Discoloration? 1. Stop using Zandu balm: Immediately discontinue the use of Zandu balm on the affected area to prevent further discoloration. 2. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess the affected area and provide guidance on treatment options. 3. Use sun protection: Avoid exposing the affected area to direct sunlight, as this can worsen the discoloration. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outdoors. 4. Avoid further irritation: Refrain from using harsh skin care products, exfoliating, or using hot water on the affected area, as this can cause further irritation and discoloration.

I'm dealing with pimple-prone skin and occasionally struggle with cystic acne and itching. Currently, I'm applying Erytop gel twice daily. Could you help me decide which soap would be better for my situation Dermadew Acne or Dermadew Lite? I'm feeling quite confused about which one to go for.
For pimple-prone skin with cystic acne and itching, it's essential to choose a gentle, non-comedogenic soap that won't clog pores. _Dermadew Acne vs. Dermadew Lite_ 1. *Dermadew Acne*: Contains salicylic acid (2%), which helps: - Exfoliate the skin - Unclog pores - Reduce acne 2. *Dermadew Lite*: A gentler, fragrance-free version with: - Lower salicylic acid concentration (0.5%) - Soothing ingredients like aloe vera _Recommendation_ If you have severe acne and itching, *Dermadew Acne* might be a better option due to its higher salicylic acid concentration. However, if you have sensitive skin, *Dermadew Lite* could be a better choice.
