Question

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?

Question

I've been taking 12 Montek LC tablets every day for the past 3 years to deal with my itching problem. But whenever I try to stop them, the itching comes back immediately the next day. Are there any natural remedies I could try instead? Also, I'm a bit worried about whether using Montek LC for such a long time could be bad for my health.

Question

I'm wondering if it's safe to use hair removal cream to get rid of pubic hair. Has anyone tried VWash hair removal cream for this? Or maybe there's another product that's better for completely removing pubic hair? I'm a bit concerned about the safety and effectiveness, and would love to hear from someone with some expertise or experience!

Question

I recently had a minor accident and got some scratches on my feet where the skin peeled off. I went to the hospital to get it dressed and, a couple of days later, began using this Megaheal Ointment. But now I'm noticing that the ointment forms this layer over my wound, almost like gum. I'm curious and a bit concerned because the wound seems like it's still wet. Every time I apply more ointment, it keeps forming this thick layer. Should I be cleaning off the old layer before putting on new ointment, or is it okay to just keep adding it on top? I'm wondering if this layer is actually helping my wound to heal or if I should be doing something differently. I'm also a bit worried about the pain I might feel if I have to peel off that thick layer from the ointment. Am I doing the right thing for healing, or is there something I should change?
