I'm on the lookout for a cream that's good for fairness that won't come with any side effects and that I can use for the long run, especially since I have oily skin. Do you have any recommendations?

For fairness and to address oily skin in the long run, you can consider using a cream containing "Kojic acid" and "Niacinamide". One such cream is "Kojivit Plus Gel". It can be applied twice daily on the affected areas after cleansing the skin. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream.

I'm curious about using alum for treating yeast infections. I've read about applying water and alum together, but I'm not sure how effective it is or if there are any risks involved. Could you provide some insights into whether this is a safe and useful method?

There is no such evidence that it would work for your problem.instead waiting for it to become worse,visit dermatologist for appropriate management.

I'm really confused about a treatment suggestion I got. My husband's doctor recommended Propysalic nf6 ointment for his hair loss on his chin, and for me, he recommended a different ointment that starts with an "O" and has a green color. Can anyone help me figure out what that might be? I'm worried and just want to make sure I'm using the right thing.
