I've been having this annoying allergy on my face for the past couple of days. It all started after I used this Lotus sunscreen with SPF 40. My skin just started itching and it feels like an allergy. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Avil or levocetirizine to help with this? Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been using HH Zole cream on my face for a couple of years now, like every week on the 7th day, just as a regular face cream. Initially, I got it to treat an itching problem, which cleared up, but I kept using it. Could this be harmful if I continue this way? Is there something I should be worried about?

I've noticed that I have dark skin between my breasts and I'm trying to figure out if it's because of sweat or maybe the clothes I'm wearing. It's starting to feel a bit unhygienic, and I'm a little concerned. Do you have any suggestions for medicine or treatments that could help with this?
