I'm using Melamet cream and it's been about 2 years. I've noticed some good changes in my skin, but I've recently heard it might not be the best for my skin in the long run. I also heard that using hydroquinone is safe and doesn't cause harm. It's been 10 days since I stopped using the cream and I haven't noticed any changes yet. I'm worried if stopping it might make my skin turn dark again. What can I do to maintain the fairness I've gained? Would love some advice on this.

It is possible that the positive effects you experienced were temporary and not sustainable in the long term. To maintain the fairness on your face, you can consider using a safer alternative like a sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from further damage and prevent darkening. You can also use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 2% under the guidance of a dermatologist to help even out your skin tone. Remember to always patch test any new products before applying them to your face and consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations based on your skin type and concerns.

View allI've been having really itchy palms and feet for the past three days. There aren't any rashes, but whenever I scratch, the skin gets all red. It's starting to worry me a bit. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as dyshidrotic eczema. For relief from itching and redness, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream on the affected areas. Additionally, taking oral antihistamines such as cetirizine can help with itching. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Why it is used for dandruff control
Head and shoulders anti hair fall shampoo is one of the best shampoo to reduce hair fall at this price. It really worked for me which no other shampoo did. It is best to be used in winter season because in winters we tend to have more hair fall because of dandruff in scalp

Can you give me some guidance on how to get rid of a wart on my eyelid? I'm curious about how much it might cost to have it removed. I've got two small ones and another that's a normal size.
