I'm using Colgate paste cream on my face along with my regular white cream, and now I'm noticing dark circles around my eyes. Are these creams causing this, and how long will it take for the dark circles to go away with medication or a cream? I'm thinking about consulting a doctor for this.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with pimples for the past four months and nothing seems to help. I've been using Acnesol gel for a month now, but it hasn't made a difference. What should I do?

I've been using Cosmolite cream for the past three years, but I've noticed that since I've stopped, the skin around my mouth and eyes has turned darker. I'm pretty worried about this change. Could you give me some advice on how to get my natural skin tone back in those areas? Any suggestions or treatments you could recommend would be really appreciated.

The darkening of skin around your mouth and eyes after stopping Cosmolite cream suggests rebound hyperpigmentation or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH); to recover, try: applying sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily, using topical creams containing niacinamide, vitamin C, or kojic acid, and exfoliating gently with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs); consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance and potential prescription-strength treatments.

I've been experiencing these rashes on my skin due to acidity, and they get so itchy, almost like a burning sensation. It's really uncomfortable. Any advice on what this might be and how to deal with it?

Tab allegra 120 mg orally at bed time for 7 days is advised,VENUSIA cream is advised to the patient.
