I've been told to take Androanagen, one tablet at night, for at least six months. I'm really curious if there are any side effects with this medication. Also, is it true that the government has banned this tablet?

I've put Dettol on my face with a cotton swab earlier today around noon, and it started burning. It first turned black and then went red. I tried cold water, ice, and later put some Lacto Calamine lotion on it at around 3pm. There's still a blackish mark that's worrying me. What should I do now?

Applying Dettol to the skin can cause chemical burns, especially if left on for an extended period. Treatment and Care 1. Continue applying cold compresses: Cold water and ice can help reduce the burning sensation and inflammation. 2. Lacto Calamine lotion: You're on the right track with Lacto Calamine lotion, which can help soothe and calm the skin. 3. Topical antibiotic cream: Apply a topical antibiotic cream, such as Neosporin or Bacitracin, to prevent infection. 4. Hydrocortisone cream: A mild steroid cream, such as hydrocortisone, can help reduce inflammation and itching. 5. Avoid further irritation: Refrain from applying any harsh products, exfoliating, or using hot water on the affected area.

I've got this chicken pox scar on the right side of my forehead that's pigmented and a bit deep. I really want it to match the rest of my skin, even if the depth stays the same. Would it be possible to get rid of the pigmentation so it looks like my normal skin color? I'm open to the idea of a small surgery if that's what it takes. Could you give me some advice on this?

For the pigmented scar on your forehead, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the pigmentation. Additionally, you may benefit from laser therapy such as PicoSure or Fraxel to further improve the appearance of the scar. In some cases, a dermatologist may recommend a chemical peel to help reduce the pigmentation. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your specific scar.
