I'm using Ayu Hina hair dye and I'm concerned if it's safe for me. I've got dark spots on both my cheeks, and you previously suggested using Cutiyt and Obril cream. The spots are still there though, so what should I do next?

Ayu hina hair dye is generally considered safe for use. However, it is always recommended to do a patch test before applying it to your entire scalp to check for any allergic reactions. If you are still experiencing dark spots on your cheeks despite using Cutiyt and Obril cream, you may consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. One such option is Melalite Forte cream, to be applied once daily at night on the affected areas. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.

I'm considering switching from Skinlite cream, which I stopped using after my dermatologist suggested Botanica 3D serum. I saw good results with the serum, but now another dermatologist has recommended Depiwhite cream for skin lightening. I'm worried about the safety of using Depiwhite and whether I might experience the same side effects as with Skinlite, since it had steroids. Do you think Depiwhite is safe, or is there another good skin lightening cream you'd suggest?

Depiwhite cream is a safe option for skin lightening as it does not contain steroids like Skinlite cream. You can use Depiwhite cream for skin lightening. Another good skin lightening cream option is Kojic acid cream. You can apply Depiwhite cream or Kojic acid cream on the affected areas of the skin twice a day for best results.
