I've been using Melaglow cream for a year, applying it every night and washing it off in the morning. My skin was glowing while I was using it, but now that I've stopped, my skin is completely pigmented. It used to be fair before I started using the cream, but now it's turned dark. Is there a way to get my natural skin fairness back? Would really appreciate some guidance on this.

It's possible to restore your skin tone, but it will take time and patience. Pigmentation changes can occur due to various reasons, like stopping a product or other factors. Focus on a gentle skincare routine with sunscreen, vitamin C serums, and exfoliation. If needed, consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment options like chemical peels or topical treatments. Stay consistent, and your skin can gradually improve.

View allI've been dealing with this ringworm problem for about six years now. I've tried all sorts of antifungal soaps and creams, but nothing seems to help. It's actually spreading all over my body. What should I do?
Consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as prolonged ringworm infections may require oral antifungal medications like fluconazole, itraconazole, or terbinafine, and ensure to complete the full treatment course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence and further spreading.

I'm noticing that my skin gets fairer when I use Skinlite and Kozicare creams, but if I stop using them, it becomes darker again. Is it safe to keep using these skin whitening creams all the time, or could that cause problems down the line?
Using skin whitening creams like Skinlite and Kozicare long-term can harm your skin, as they often contain steroids or harsh chemicals that cause dependency and side effects like thinning skin or pigmentation issues. Its better to stop them and consult a dermatologist for safer alternatives to manage skin tone or pigmentation. Focus on a healthy skincare routine with sunscreen and gentle products.

I've been using garlic to try and get rid of a mole on my face, but now I'm really worried. After an hour, my skin got burnt and turned red. It dried up and I could peel it off, but now it looks black. I've been applying sebo de macho, but it doesn't seem to help. What should I do?
It seems like you may have experienced a skin reaction from using garlic to remove your mole. The black color could indicate a scab or potential skin damage. I recommend you stop using sebo de macho and instead apply an antibiotic cream like Neosporin to prevent infection. You can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin. Additionally, consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at the scab to prevent scarring. If the symptoms worsen or do not improve, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
