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?

As a breastfeeding mother, it's great that you're cautious about using any skincare products.

Dermolite Skin Brightening Formula Cream: Key Ingredients

  1. Mulberry Extract: Known for its antioxidant and skin-brightening properties.
  2. Vitamin E: An antioxidant that helps protect the skin from damage.
  3. Kojic Acid: A natural ingredient that can help brighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation.

Safety During Breastfeeding

While the ingredients listed are generally considered safe, it's essential to exercise caution when using any skincare product while breastfeeding.

  1. Kojic Acid: There is limited research on the safety of kojic acid during breastfeeding. As a precaution, it's recommended to avoid using products containing kojic acid or to consult your doctor before using them.
  2. Mulberry Extract and Vitamin E: These ingredients are generally considered safe during breastfeeding.

I'm really concerned about this baldness issue I'm experiencing. The front of my head has lost a lot of hair, and it looks quite bald now. A few months ago, I only noticed it when I applied oil, but now it's visible all the time, and my hair's gotten thinner. Can you recommend a permanent solution for this? Also, is there a difference between hair transplantation and PRP therapy, or are they the same? Which one would be the best and safest option? I could really use some guidance here since I'm quite worried about losing more hair.
