I've been using Melacare cream for about 10 years now, and recently I've noticed my face turning red. Is this a side effect of the cream? Can you help me understand what's happening?

I'm on the lookout for a cream that's good for fairness that won't come with any side effects and that I can use for the long run, especially since I have oily skin. Do you have any recommendations?

For fairness and to address oily skin in the long run, you can consider using a cream containing "Kojic acid" and "Niacinamide". One such cream is "Kojivit Plus Gel". It can be applied twice daily on the affected areas after cleansing the skin. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream.

I've got these rashes down near the bottom part of my testis and on my thighs close to my private area. I can't figure out what caused it or what ointment I should use, if any. I'm juggling a tight schedule, so I can't really make it to a doctor. It's getting more and more itchy, especially after a shower, and it gets annoying because I have to change my underwear. I also need to wait for it to dry to stop the itching. What do you think could be causing this, and how should I treat it?
