I'm using metacortil lite cream for about a week now for my pimple marks and to lighten my skin tone. I havent noticed any side effects yet and no breakouts either. The marks are getting lighter too. My concern is, will this cream make my skin darker in the future? And what happens if I stop using it once my skin becomes clear and fair?

View allI'm dealing with acne on my face and my doctor had prescribed some Adaplec cream along with an antibiotic pill, but I can't remember the name of the pill and unfortunately, the doctor isn't available right now. Could someone help me figure out which antibiotic pill might have been prescribed for treating acne?
Azithromycin.

I've been dealing with severe acidity, heartburn, and gas, but thankfully that's under control now. However, I've also been experiencing a lot of hair fall, along with dandruff and acne, and my skin's been really oily. This doesn't run in my family, so I'm a bit confused. I'm currently taking the adgain hair supplement. Should I keep using it, or is it time to schedule another checkup?
It might be a good idea to consult a dermatologist or trichologist to get a better understanding of the cause of your symptoms. You can continue the Adgain hair supplement for now, but be mindful of any side effects. Make sure you're addressing both your skin and hair care routines properly and managing your diet and stress levels.

I've put Dettol on my face with a cotton swab earlier today around noon, and it started burning. It first turned black and then went red. I tried cold water, ice, and later put some Lacto Calamine lotion on it at around 3pm. There's still a blackish mark that's worrying me. What should I do now?
Applying Dettol to the skin can cause chemical burns, especially if left on for an extended period. Treatment and Care 1. Continue applying cold compresses: Cold water and ice can help reduce the burning sensation and inflammation. 2. Lacto Calamine lotion: You're on the right track with Lacto Calamine lotion, which can help soothe and calm the skin. 3. Topical antibiotic cream: Apply a topical antibiotic cream, such as Neosporin or Bacitracin, to prevent infection. 4. Hydrocortisone cream: A mild steroid cream, such as hydrocortisone, can help reduce inflammation and itching. 5. Avoid further irritation: Refrain from applying any harsh products, exfoliating, or using hot water on the affected area.
