I've been dealing with these lichen planus spots for about 8 months now, and they just don't seem to be fading. They're primarily on my ankles and inner arms. Do these marks ever really go away?

I recently got my hands waxed, and ever since, I've developed some major skin issues. My hands are now covered with pimples and rashes, and the beautician mentioned it could be a bacterial allergy. It's super itchy and painful with these red bumps ranging from tiny to quite big all over my hands. I'm really worried about it. What could be causing this, and what should I do to make it better?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis from the waxing procedure. To help with the itching, pain, and inflammation, you can try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the inflammation and itching. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine such as cetirizine to help with the itching. To prevent any bacterial infection, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been using Olifair for just under a week now, and my face has gotten really bright and fair. I'm a bit concerned though, could it lead to a skin allergy or even skin cancer since it's caused such a noticeable change in a short time? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

Continue same treatment, side-effects include rash,itching and hypersensitivity reactions etc, if u have any sde-effects dermat opinion is advised.
