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?

View allI'm really worried because I've noticed more and more dark spots and blackness appearing on my face, especially around my eyes and under them. It seems like my face is getting darker every day. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to help it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing hyperpigmentation. You can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to apply the cream on the affected areas twice a day, and remember to follow up with your skincare routine.

I've been dealing with allergic eruptions ever since I was a kid. Recently, I found out I have psoriasis and eczema on my joints like my ankles, elbows, and knees. My IgE levels are pretty high at 1700. I regularly take Allegra 120 and Montair LC which help a bit, but nothing seems to truly work. I'm in a tough spot and dont know what to do. Can you offer any advice on how to manage or reduce these issues? I've tried both homeopathy and allopathy, but no luck so far.
For the management of Psoriasis and eczema with allergic eruptions, in addition to your current antihistamines, I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid cream like Betnovate to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Also, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil to keep the skin hydrated. Furthermore, you can consider taking an immunosuppressant medication like Methotrexate under the guidance of a dermatologist to help control the autoimmune response causing Psoriasis. This should be taken once a week in a prescribed dosage. It's important to continue with regular follow-ups with your dermatologist to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
