I'm wondering if it's safe to use Dermolite skin brightening formula cream since they claim it's free from steroids and made with natural ingredients like mulberry extract, vitamin E, and kojic acid. My baby is just a month old, and I'm breastfeeding, so I'm kind of worried about whether it might affect my baby. Is it okay to use this cream, especially since I recently had the baby?

I'm dealing with these small, blister-like rashes on my fingers, shoulders, and neck. The doctor said it's due to poor hygiene and recommended benzyl benzoate solution as well as cetirizine. I'm really curious, how long will it take for these to heal?
The blister-like rashes on your fingers, shoulders, and neck can be uncomfortable and concerning. Diagnosis and Treatment The doctor's diagnosis suggests that the rashes might be caused by scabies, a skin infestation caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The prescribed medications are: 1. Benzyl benzoate solution (Ascabiol): A topical scabicide used to treat scabies. 2. Cetrazine: An antihistamine that can help relieve itching and reduce the allergic response. Healing Time The healing time for scabies can vary depending on several factors, such as: 1. Severity of infestation: More severe cases may take longer to heal. 2. Effectiveness of treatment: Adherence to the treatment regimen and proper application of medications can impact healing time. 3. Individual response: People's responses to treatment can vary. Generally, with proper treatment, scabies can be cured within: - 2-4 weeks: Symptoms like itching and rash may start to subside. - 4-6 weeks: Skin lesions and rashes may take longer to heal completely.

I'm a 21-year-old girl and last November and December, I suffered from typhoid. Since I started recovering fully in January, Ive noticed that my hair is falling out a lot. I used to have long, thick hair, but now its really thinning, and I can even see bald spots. I'm worried and I really dont want to shave my head. How long can I expect it to take for my hair to grow back to normal, and is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Will not shaving be a problem?
