I've been using hydroquinone in the past to get flawless skin, and it worked really well for me. But then I had an acne breakout, so I stopped using it and switched to benzoyl peroxide cream. That cleared up my pimples, but now my skin is dark and pigmented. I'm not sure if I should start using hydroquinone again for the hyperpigmentation or if a chemical peel would be a better option. What do you think would work best for my situation?

I'm really struggling and could use some advice. I've been taking fexofenadine for about three years, but I recently stopped. Now, I'm dealing with this intense itching all over my body, and it feels unbearable. I think it's from the withdrawal of stopping the medication. What can I do to relieve this itching? Any immediate suggestions or steps I should take?

I'm wondering if Folica hair tincture actually helps increase hair density or if it just manages hair fall? I'm really hoping for a product that can boost the thickness of my hair. If it's only good for controlling hair fall, could you recommend a good hair serum that can really help with increasing hair density?

Folica hair tincture primarily helps to control hair fall. If you are looking to increase the density of your hair, I recommend using Minoxidil solution. You can apply Minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) directly to the scalp twice a day to promote hair growth and increase hair density.
