I'm considering trying out either a chemical peel or a skin laser lightening treatment to lighten my complexion a bit, both for my face and hands. There's no medical issue, I'm just curious about brightening things up a shade or two. If I go ahead with this, would you have any idea how much it might cost in Karnataka, India? Also, how much will my skin lighten after these treatments, and how long can I expect the effects to last? I'm just trying to weigh my options and figure out what might be the best approach!

I'm really confused about something. Every time I drink alcohol or eat non-veg food, the area with my fungal infection gets super itchy and red. My doctor said alcohol isnt the cause, but I've heard from people that it might mean there's something wrong with my liver. Could that be true? What should I do about it?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
