I'm using Persol forte for my acne and it's causing some irritation, redness, and even peeling on my skin. Should I stop using it or is there something I can do to help with these side effects? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

I'm trying to decide between the regular Depiwhite cream and the Depiwhite Advanced depigmenting cream. Are they the same, or is the Advanced version better? What would be best for me to use?

You can use either according to your doctors advice

I've got these itchy rashes on my face from a reaction to a cream I used, and even though I stopped using it, the rash keeps coming back. My doctor had me try betamethasone cream, and it helps while I'm using it, but as soon as I stop, the rash returns. What do you think is causing this, and is there anything else I can do to stop it from coming back for good?

no you cannot

I've been dealing with white bumps on my back and front area after waxing, and it's been about three days now. They're painful and super itchy. Do you have any advice on what might help?

You may be experiencing folliculitis, which is inflammation of the hair follicles. You can try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the inflammation and itching. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine to help with the itching. To prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin.
