View allI'm looking for a permanent solution for skin whitening. I'm tired of using all these temporary fixes and would love to know if there's a lasting and effective method to get the result I'm looking for. Can you help guide me?
For permanent skin whitening, you can consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone in combination with tretinoin and corticosteroids. One such effective brand is Tri-Luma cream. It is usually applied once daily in the evening. However, it is important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as prolonged use can have side effects. Additionally, using sunscreen with a high SPF is crucial to prevent darkening of the skin due to sun exposure.

I've been diagnosed with lichen planus and I've been prescribed Omnacortil 10mg tablets. I'm really curious about what effects or side effects I might experience from taking this medication. Can you shed some light on this for me?
Tablet Omnacortil 10mg contains prednisolone, which is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation. In the treatment of lichen planus, Omnacortil 10mg can help reduce itching, redness, and inflammation of the skin lesions. However, it is important to note that long-term use of corticosteroids like prednisolone can have side effects such as weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, increased risk of infections, and thinning of the skin. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration as advised by your healthcare provider to minimize the risk of side effects.
