I've been using this melapik cream that's based on hydroquinone. I put it on my face every night, and it's been making my skin look fairer. I'm just a bit worried, though. Are there any side effects of using this cream daily?

I'm struggling with acne scars and dark spots on my face and I'm really curious if taking Evion capsules orally would be safe for me. I'm also in the middle of a weight loss journey; I'm hitting the gym regularly and sticking to a diet plan. My big worry is whether Evion could lead to weight gain. Are there any side effects I should know about?

Evion capsules, which contain Vitamin E, can be beneficial for skin health. You can take Evion 400mg capsules orally once daily. Vitamin E can help improve skin texture and reduce scars and dark spots. Taking Evion capsules should not directly cause weight gain. However, as with any supplement, it is essential to maintain a balanced diet and exercise routine to support your weight loss goals.

I've noticed these weird goosebump-like rashes on my skin, mostly on my arms, and now there's one on my cheek too. They're lighter than my normal skin tone and itch sometimes. I've been using Flucort, and they seem to disappear, but I'm still concerned. What could be causing these rashes, and should I keep using Flucort or try something else? Any advice would be really helpful.
