I'm trying to understand how to properly use this coal tar and salicylic acid scalp solution. After I apply it, do I need to wash my hair right after, or should I leave it on overnight? I'm a little confused about what the best way to use it is. Can you help clarify this for me?

I've been dealing with dark skin around my underarms and bikini area for a while now, and I've tried so many creams but they haven't helped. I'm really hoping there's something else I can do to lighten these areas. Any advice would be great!

For dark skin on underarms and bikini areas, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice; in the meantime, try these evidence-based remedies: kojic acid or licorice extract creams, turmeric paste, lemon juice with sugar, or cucumber and aloe vera gel, and maintain good hygiene, avoid harsh hair removal methods, and wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce friction and irritation.
