I've been dealing with acne scars for a while now and I remember using Clinagel which had Clindamycin phosphate 1% and allantoin, and it actually worked really well for me. But it seems like it's not available anymore. Could you suggest a similar alternative that just includes these two ingredients? I'm really looking for something as effective.

View allI'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.

I'm currently taking BTN ULTRA for my hair, and I'm considering adding Dr. Reddy's OMEGA 3 capsules to my routine as well. Is it safe to take both the BTN ULTRA tablet and the OMEGA 3 capsule together in the morning? I'm just a bit worried about any interactions or if Im getting too much of something. What's your advice?
Yes you can take no problem.

I've been using this bleaching cream called Oxy every month, and it gives me a fair look for just two days, then my skin goes back to normal. But now, after using bleach so much, my skin is starting to get darker, and I feel like I have to use bleach to make it better, which just seems to make it permanently darker. I'm really worried and curious if bleach cream is actually safe to use. Does it actually help? And since my skin's getting darker from it, what can I do to avoid this or make it better? Any advice on creams or tablets would be really appreciated.
