I'm wondering if it's a good idea to use lacto calamine for treating dark spots. Im also curious if it could end up making my skin look dull or even darker. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Lacto Calamine can be used to treat dark spots on the skin. It contains ingredients like zinc oxide and glycerin which help in reducing dark spots and improving skin tone. It is unlikely to make your skin dull or darker. Apply a thin layer of lacto calamine on the affected areas twice a day for best results.

View allI'm trying to manage my dandruff situation and heard about using diprovate plus lotion on the scalp. I'm just wondering, can I actually apply it directly to my hair like I would with regular hair oil? Is there anything else I should know while using it?
Diprovate Plus lotion is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including dandruff. To apply it to the scalp for dandruff, you should part your hair and apply a small amount of the lotion directly onto the affected areas of the scalp. Gently massage it into the scalp using your fingertips. It is important to avoid applying it to the hair shafts like regular hair oil, as it is specifically meant for the scalp. Use it as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily.

Vaseline is a Petroleum Jelly based moisturiser. Though a layer of vaseline helps in locking in moisture it can trigger outbreaks if you have acne prone skin.

I've used sebifin plus before to treat a fungal skin infection around my penis, and it worked well. But now, the infection's back, and I think it's because I sweat a lot when I exercise. I treated it again with sebifin and it cleared up, but now I'm worried about exercising and the infection coming back again. What should I do?
