I've been given doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus for my acne and I'm really unsure about how many capsules I'm supposed to take each day. Could you help me understand the right dosage and the best times to take them?

I'm considering switching from Skinlite cream, which I stopped using after my dermatologist suggested Botanica 3D serum. I saw good results with the serum, but now another dermatologist has recommended Depiwhite cream for skin lightening. I'm worried about the safety of using Depiwhite and whether I might experience the same side effects as with Skinlite, since it had steroids. Do you think Depiwhite is safe, or is there another good skin lightening cream you'd suggest?

Depiwhite cream is a safe option for skin lightening as it does not contain steroids like Skinlite cream. You can use Depiwhite cream for skin lightening. Another good skin lightening cream option is Kojic acid cream. You can apply Depiwhite cream or Kojic acid cream on the affected areas of the skin twice a day for best results.

I've been using this Panderm Plus cream, and every time I go out, my skin seems to get darker, even though I put on sunscreen. I'm really thinking about stopping the use of this cream, but I'm not sure how to get my skin back to normal afterward. Do you have any advice on how I can handle this situation?

1. *Gradually taper off*: Don't stop using Panderm Plus abruptly. Gradually reduce the frequency and amount applied over 2-3 weeks. 2. *Replace with alternative creams*: Consult your doctor or dermatologist for alternative creams that are less likely to cause hyperpigmentation. 3. *Use sunscreen with high SPF*: Continue using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF (at least 30) and reapply every 2 hours. 4. *Wear protective clothing*: Cover your skin with clothing, hats, and umbrellas when going out. 5. *Consider vitamin C or niacinamide creams*: These creams may help reduce hyperpigmentation and promote skin brightening.
