I've been having this really annoying itching problem all over my body that only seems to happen at night. I saw a doctor about it and took the medication they prescribed, but the itching came back. I'm taking cetirizine to try and help with the symptoms, but it's still bothering me a lot. I recently moved to Chennai about 5 months ago. Could this change be affecting me somehow, or is there something else I should consider? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm using Ethiglo face wash for about 20 days now because I'm hoping to lighten my skin tone, but I haven't noticed any changes yet. Could you recommend a good face wash for oily skin? And maybe a cream that would help too? Just trying to get the right products.

I'm thinking about using vitamin serum and Kojivit cream at the same time to get fairer skin more quickly. Is this a good idea, and how should I apply them? Also, could I take a vitamin C capsule along with them? I'm really curious about whether combining these products is safe and effective, or if there's a specific way to use them for the best results. Can you help me figure this out?
