I'm trying to tackle some dark spots and acne marks using products from the derma co line. Right now I'm using an alpha arbutin serum and I'm thinking of adding a kojic acid cream to my routine. Is it okay to use these two together? I'm just a bit concerned about how they might interact with each other. Would appreciate any advice!

I've been using this melapik cream that's based on hydroquinone. I put it on my face every night, and it's been making my skin look fairer. I'm just a bit worried, though. Are there any side effects of using this cream daily?

My wife has molluscum contagiosum with around 30-40 bumps on her chin. The dermatologist first recommended a 2-week zinc tablet course, but it didn't help. Now they're suggesting surgical removal. We're hesitant about surgery is there any other treatment option that might work, or is surgery the best way to go? They mentioned removing each bump and applying medication, but we're worried about scarring or side effects.

A dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
