Is it okay if I use Egacream every day? I've been doing this for about a year now. I'm 36 with a dusky skin tone. If it's not safe, can you suggest a different cream that I could use regularly?

View allI'm really struggling with lice and nits in my hair. I used Mediker shampoo but there are still some left even after one wash. Is it okay to use it more than once a week? How long should I wait between washes if I want to use it again?
For effective lice and nit removal, Mediker shampoo can be used again after a gap of 7-10 days, as the second application helps kill any newly hatched lice; however, always follow the product instructions and consult a doctor or dermatologist for personalized advice, as overusing the shampoo can lead to scalp irritation and dryness.

I've noticed that over the past couple of years, my ear lobes and knuckles have become much darker than the rest of my skin. It's quite noticeable and I'm a bit concerned about it. Can you recommend a cream or treatment that could help lighten this discoloration?
Darkening of the skin in these areas could be due to various reasons such as friction, sun exposure, or hormonal changes. To lighten the complexion of your ear lobes and knuckles, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is to use a cream like "Melalite Forte Cream" which contains hydroquinone. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day can help prevent further darkening of the skin.
