I've been dealing with this annoying itching on my upper lip for a few days. It's all red and a bit swollen, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could it be some kind of pimples? The itching is driving me crazy. Any idea what it might be?

I've been told to try Dermadew soap for improving my skin tone, but I'm 19 and have really sensitive skin. Is this the right choice for me, or should I consider other options?

Dermadew soap can help with hydration and mild skin brightening, but for sensitive skin, it's essential to do a patch test first to avoid irritation. Gentle products with calming ingredients like aloe vera or oatmeal might suit you better. Avoid harsh soaps and focus on sunscreen, as sun protection is crucial for even skin tone and sensitivity management.

I'm a brown-skinned girl and my dermatologist suggested I use KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM for the pigmentation around my mouth. I noticed it has 2% Hydroquinone, and I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe. Could it possibly make my pigmentation worse or darker? Can you help me understand if it's okay to use this cream?

KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM contains 2% HYDROQUINONE which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. It is generally safe to use for treating pigmentation issues when used as directed by a healthcare professional. However, prolonged and excessive use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin darkening, redness, or irritation. To ensure safe use of KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM, it is important to follow your dermatologist's instructions regarding the frequency and duration of application. It is also recommended to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further pigmentation. If you experience any severe side effects or worsening of pigmentation, please consult your dermatologist for further guidance.
