I've been taking CANTHEX tablets for my skin pigmentation as the doctor said my weight gain might be causing this issue. But I stumbled across some info online suggesting that CANTHEX is also used for weight loss. I'm a bit confused and kind of worried does this mean that if I continue taking these tablets, there's a chance I might put on more weight?

No need to worry you can use it as advised by your doctor for pigmentation,there is no such record stating it's potential in weight gain.

I'm really worried because last night I did something silly. I put toothpaste on my forehead to try and get rid of some acne and left it on overnight. This morning, part of my forehead looks like it might be burntlike a chemical burn. I'm kicking myself for it. Do you think it will heal on its own, or am I going to have a permanent mark? Could you recommend any medicine or home remedyjust not aloe vera since I can't get any? I'd really appreciate your help.
