I've been using Betnovate C on my face for about six months to manage pimples and help with skin lightening, but as soon as I stop using it, the pimples come back. I usually apply it at night. Some friends say it's not good to use it continuously. Could you advise me on what I should do next?

View allI'm a bit worried about how to remove hair around my private areas. Is there a cream or lotion that's safe to use instead of shaving? Also, how can I get rid of hair in hard-to-reach places like underneath and my back? Is there any permanent solution out there that I should consider?
permanent solution is through laser

My relative had a hot oil spill accident and burned 25% of her legs. It's been 15 days since she's been in the hospital, and we're really worried about how long it'll take for her to recover. Can you give us some idea of the recovery time? We're feeling pretty panicked about this.
It takes really long time to heal and depends on the depth of the burns,no need to worry follow your doctor advice and give her high protein diet for a better result.

I've been dealing with these round-shaped rashes that itch in some spots for about three weeks now. I already saw a dermatologist and tried the medication they recommended, but it still hasnt cleared up. Should I be worried that its taking this long to go away? Do you think I should get a second opinion or try a different treatment?
It seems like you are experiencing a persistent rash with itching sensation. Since the medication prescribed by the dermatologist did not provide relief, I recommend trying a different approach. You can try using a combination of hydrocortisone cream and antihistamine such as Cetirizine. Apply the hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas and take Cetirizine 10mg once daily for relief from itching. Make sure to follow this regimen for at least a week and see if there is any improvement in your symptoms.
