I've been using this Dr. James Glutathione skin whitening cream for a couple of years, and it really made my skin fair and white. But now my skin has become super sensitive. Every time I go outside in the morning, my face goes all red and feels like it's burning. Since I stopped using that cream, my skins gotten darker. It's weird because my ears and neck are still white, but only my face is darker, and the difference is really noticeable. What should I do about this? Is there a way to fix it? I'm not worried about the cost, so should I look into skin whitening laser treatments or maybe carbon peeling or stem cells? Do you think normal medicines could help, or should I go for one of these high-end procedures? I'm really curious and a bit worried.

I'm curious about the safety of using Veet hair removal wax cream. Is it bad for the skin at all, like could it lead to cancer or other skin problems? I've got quite a bit of hair and I'm looking to find a safe way to remove it. Your advice would be super helpful!

Veet hair removal wax cream is generally safe for use on the skin for hair removal. It is unlikely to cause cancer or serious skin issues when used according to the instructions. However, some individuals may experience skin irritation, redness, or allergic reactions to the ingredients in the cream. It is always recommended to do a patch test before using it on larger areas of the skin. If you do not experience any adverse reactions, you can proceed with using the cream. Make sure to follow the recommended usage and application instructions to minimize any potential risks.

I've been dealing with this jock itch kind of skin infection between my thighs for months. It's spreading pretty fast, and I'm really worried. I've been using miconazole clobetasol propionate ointment, and while it seems okay, it's not really curing it. Living in a hostel makes this tough, and I just can't focus on my studies because of it. Can you recommend something better?

Chronic Fungal infection needs long-term treatment, personal hygiene measures are most important to cure this disease, practice special care towards affected area.
