I've been dealing with some lingering issues after a bike accident about six months ago. The left side of my face was injured and it has been swollen ever since. The swelling hasn't gone down and there are still some light marks, plus the skin feels really thin around that area. I'm getting a bit worried and am wondering how I might treat this. Any advice on what steps I should take might be helpful.

To address the lingering facial swelling and scarring from your bike accident six months ago, consider consulting a plastic surgeon for personalized advice, and in the meantime, try using topical treatments like silicone gel or sheeting, vitamin E oil, or aloe vera to promote skin healing and reduce scarring, and also massage the affected area gently to improve circulation and break down scar tissu

I'm really looking to improve my skin's brightness and have a more radiant glow. Could you recommend any tablets or creams that could help me achieve a pure skin tone? I'm feeling a bit concerned and would love some advice on this.

I recommend using a combination of topical creams and oral tablets. You can start by using a skin brightening cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. Apply this cream once daily in the evening after cleansing your face. In addition, taking Vitamin C tablets can help improve skin brightness and promote a healthy glow. I recommend taking 500mg of Vitamin C daily. Remember to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening. Consistency is key, so be patient and give these treatments time to show results.

I'm taking a 5mg levocet tablet for a skin reaction on my face and have been on it for 6 days now. Since I don't have any more itching or redness, I'm wondering if I should stop the medicine or keep going. My doctor originally suggested I take it for 10 days. What do you think I should do?

You can stop taking Levocet 5mg tablet since you no longer have itching or redness on your face. It is advisable to complete the course as prescribed by your doctor, which in your case is 10 days. Since you have already taken it for 6 days and your symptoms have resolved, you can safely discontinue the medication.
