I've been dealing with mouth ulcers for a week now and they just won't go away. Do you know what kind of medicine I can take to help with this? It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm really looking for some relief. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm thinking about using Skinlite cream for just a week, and I'm a bit worried. Can using it for only seven days cause any harm? Would love your advice.

Using Skinlite cream, which contains hydroquinone, for only 7 days is unlikely to cause significant harm, but it's essential to follow the recommended usage and consult a dermatologist, as prolonged or excessive use can lead to skin darkening, irritation, or other adverse effects.

I had an accident three years ago, and while some marks have healed, there's still a noticeable one on the left side of my face. I'm really hoping to find a cream that could help fade this mark and maybe even get my skin looking like it did before. Any suggestions?

Thrombophobe cream for local application atleast 7-14 days is advised to the patient once daily.

I'm really struggling with flaky dandruff and it's been going on for about a year now. I've tried using selsun and fungiside shampoos twice a week, but they haven't helped at all. Could you give me some advice on what else I might try?

Flaky dandruff that is not responding to over-the-counter shampoos may require a stronger treatment. I recommend trying a shampoo containing ketoconazole, such as Nizoral. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks. If there is still no improvement, you may need a prescription-strength shampoo or medication from a dermatologist.
