I'm wondering if I can use Dewsoft cream alongside Acnetor AD for the pimples on my face. I'm dealing with quite a few, and I'm not sure if mixing these treatments is a good idea. Any advice on this?

Acne can be treated easily with facewash, tablets and creams. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated

I've had tanning on my hands since visiting a coastal area a while back. How can I get rid of it? Any advice would really help.

To reduce tanning on your hands, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply the cream to the affected areas twice a day for several weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on your hands daily can help prevent further tanning.

It's really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do to make it go away or at least reduce the pain. Any advice on what I could try to help with this?
