I've been through over 20 laser hair removal sessions on my face with two different doctors, but now Im dealing with even more coarse hair growth than before. Im considering electrolysis for hair removal, but Im unsure if it actually guarantees permanent results or if it's just another method for hair reduction like laser. Could you explain the potential side effects or downsides of electrolysis treatment?

I'm thinking about using Faiza skin lightening cream and I'm wondering if it's okay to apply it every night before bed. Is it safe to do that, and will it really make my skin glow in just a week? I'm a bit concerned about any potential side effects.

Contains hydroquinone, which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, using it every night can lead to skin irritation, redness, and even paradoxical darkening of the skin. It is not recommended to use skin lightening creams excessively as they can have harmful effects on the skin. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and consult a dermatologist for proper guidance.

I've been experiencing this weird thing at night where my skin gets really itchy, and then these skin-colored boils pop up. The odd thing is, they usually vanish by the next morning. At first, this was only happening on a small area of my leg, but now its like, all over my legs and even my arms. Should I be worried about this spreading further, and is there something specific I should do?

That could be fungal infcetion,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatmen,personal hygiene is more important for a better result.
