I've been dealing with pigmentation on both sides of my face and it's quite noticeable, especially since my job involves a lot of public interaction. I've been using Pineglow cream at night and Sun Cross Ultra cream during the day, but Im really concerned about how long it might take to see any improvement. Could you let me know if I'm on the right track or suggest anything else that might help? The pigmentation makes me pretty self-conscious.

I've been using hydroquinone in the past to get flawless skin, and it worked really well for me. But then I had an acne breakout, so I stopped using it and switched to benzoyl peroxide cream. That cleared up my pimples, but now my skin is dark and pigmented. I'm not sure if I should start using hydroquinone again for the hyperpigmentation or if a chemical peel would be a better option. What do you think would work best for my situation?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm looking for advice on how to heal wounds more quickly. Are there any medications or tablets that can help speed up the healing process when used alongside regular dressing? Also, is Betadine an effective ointment for treating small wounds? Any guidance would be appreciated!

For healing wounds faster, some tablets that may be prescribed include Sigmoilalm and Ciprofloxacin. Along with these tablets, general dressing and proper wound care are essential for promoting effective wound healing and preventing infection.

I've noticed that my lips have been super dry lately, even though I've been taking riboflavin supplements and using seacod. I've also been applying Betnovate N ointment, but nothing seems to help. Should I be worried, or is there something else I should be doing to fix this?

stop ointment and just moisturise
