I've been using Melacare cream for over a year now and I'm really worried because I want to stop using it. The problem is, I've lost my fairness and now my face is covered in acne. How can I get my clear skin back and safely stop using this cream?

I'm dealing with this ring guard on my skin, and it's starting to spread to the lower part of my body. I'm really worried about it. Here are some pictures. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

You may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the infection does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm Ganesh, I'm 24, and I've been living in Chennai. I've noticed that my beard and mustache aren't really growing in a way I'd hope for. My beard has only just started to grow, but there are large patches where it still looks like normal skin with no growth at all. Even in the areas where it does grow, it's taking a really long time to gain any length. My mustache isn't much better as it appears more like a thin line just above my lip, and most of it is still like a bare surface. I'm really wanting to grow a full beard and mustache. Could you help me figure out what might be going on and what I can do about it?

It sounds like you are experiencing slow and patchy beard and mustache growth. One possible solution to promote facial hair growth is to use Minoxidil solution. You can apply Minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the areas where you want to promote hair growth. Additionally, you can consider taking Biotin supplements to support healthy hair growth. Make sure to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement regimen.
