I'm wondering if it's safe to use Laboderm OC ointment on my face to help get rid of spots. I've been really self-conscious about these spots and I'm not sure if this ointment is the right choice. Could you let me know if it's actually effective or if there might be any side effects I should be aware of? I've heard different things and just want to make sure I'm making a good decision for my skin.

I've been taking CANTHEX tablets for my skin pigmentation as the doctor said my weight gain might be causing this issue. But I stumbled across some info online suggesting that CANTHEX is also used for weight loss. I'm a bit confused and kind of worried does this mean that if I continue taking these tablets, there's a chance I might put on more weight?

No need to worry you can use it as advised by your doctor for pigmentation,there is no such record stating it's potential in weight gain.
