I've been dealing with these constant headaches and my whole body just won't stop itching. Honestly, it feels like I'm getting poked by a thousand needles, and I've noticed some red marks popping up in a few spots. It's getting worse with each passing day. Could you figure out what's going on with me and what I should do?

You may be experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction. To address the itching and redness, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily. For the headache, you can take Acetaminophen (500mg) as needed for pain relief. However, it is important to identify and avoid the trigger causing your symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm curious about switching products for better skin fairness. I've been using Roop Mantra Ayurvedic cream for a couple of months, but I haven't seen much improvement. I recently heard about Kojiglo gel and I'm considering trying it out. Could you let me know if it's safe for my skin?
Kojiglo gel contains Kojic acid which is often used to lighten skin. It can be safe for skin lightening purposes, but it's important to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional. You can apply a thin layer of Kojiglo gel on the affected areas once daily at night. Remember to use sunscreen during the day as Kojic acid can increase sensitivity to sunlight.

I'm trying to figure out how to gradually stop using Melacare cream because I'm experiencing some side effects like dry skin and facial hair growth. I'm also looking for a recommendation on a different fairness cream that won't cause these issues. Can you help me out with this?
To stop using Melacare cream without losing fairness: *Tapering Off Melacare Cream* 1. *Gradual reduction*: Reduce the frequency of application over 2-4 weeks (e.g., from daily to every other day, then to twice a week). 2. *Dilute the cream*: Mix Melacare cream with a moisturizer (1:1 ratio) to reduce its potency. 3. *Replace with a moisturizer*: Once you've tapered off Melacare, switch to a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer. *Alternative Fairness Creams* 1. *Kojic acid-based creams*: Kojivit, Kojic acid cream, or La Roche-Posay Mela-D Pigment Control. 2. *Niacinamide-based creams*: Olay Regenerist, Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair, or Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster. 3. *Vitamin C-based creams*: Olay Vitamin C, Neutrogena Vitamin C, or Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare C+ Collagen Brighten and Firm Serum. *Addressing Side Effects* 1. *Dry skin*: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer. 2. *Facial hair growth*: Consider waxing, threading, or consulting a dermatologist for hair reduction treatments. Consult a dermatologist before starting any new skincare products to ensure they suit your skin type and concerns.

I'm really worried because I've noticed this bluered vein-like structure showing up below both my breasts, and it's been there for over a month now. Could it be something serious like cancer or some other underlying disease? I've also had irregular periods in the past, but they're starting to become more regular. Should I be concerned about these new symptoms?
