I've been using Kojivit gel for the last six years and haven't noticed any side effects. Should I keep using it, or is it time to stop?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Kojivit gel is commonly used for skin lightening and to treat hyperpigmentation. Since you have been using it for a long time without any issues, you can continue using it as long as it is effective for you. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided by your healthcare provider or mentioned on the product packaging.

View allI'm trying to figure out the best way to use benzoyl peroxide with my sunscreen. Should I be putting on sunscreen before or after the benzoyl peroxide? And how long should I wait between applying the two? I'm a bit confused about the order and timing, could you help clear this up?
When using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and sunscreen together, follow these guidelines: *Application Order* 1. *Benzoyl peroxide first*: Apply BPO to the affected areas, allowing it to dry completely. 2. *Sunscreen second*: Apply sunscreen over the treated areas. *Waiting Time* Wait at least *15-30 minutes* after applying BPO before applying sunscreen. This allows the BPO to penetrate the skin and reduces the risk of pilling or reduced efficacy. *Additional Tips* 1. *Choose a gentle sunscreen*: Opt for a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic sunscreen to minimize irritation. 2. *Select a broad-spectrum sunscreen*: Ensure the sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection (SPF 30 or higher) to prevent further skin damage. 3. *Reapply sunscreen regularly*: Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or immediately after swimming or sweating.

I've discovered a mole on my scrotum about 5 days ago. It's not irritating or leaking any fluids, so I'm a bit unsure about what kind of specialist I should consult. Should I see a urologist or a dermatologist?

I've had this ringworm fungal infection for about a month and a half now, and I've been using Dermi 5 cream regularly, but it doesn't seem to be working. Could you advise me on what I should do next? I'm getting a bit worried here.
If Dermi 5 cream has not been effective in treating your ringworm infection, you can try using Terbinafine cream (brand name Lamisil) twice daily on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent spreading the infection.
