I've been struggling with acne on my face, and a friend recommended benzac 2.5 and adaferin. I'm curious how I should be using both of these. Can you help with some advice?

I've been using Cadila Skin Shine cream for about 6 months now. At first, it worked wonders on my face, but lately, I've occasionally noticed some irritation and red rashes. I stopped using it a week ago, and now my skin looks much darker than before. What can I do to fix this? I'm really concerned about getting my skin back to its original tone. Any advice would be appreciated!

You are not supposed to use it for long term unless recommended,tha could made your skin photosensitive, no need to worry visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I recently shaved my head, something I haven't done since childhood, and now I'm seeing these white patches all over my scalp. It's really gross and embarrassing. I've had dandruff issues before, but this looks different. What could this be, and how can I get rid of it permanently? Any advice would be really appreciated.
