I've been using multani mitti and apple cider vinegar on my face to try and clear up some acne, but now I'm dealing with some skin burn, a lot of redness, and even a little bit of peeling. What should I do about this? Is there a way to soothe my skin or should I be worried?

To treat the skin burn, redness, and peeling, you can use a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone cream along with a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil. Apply the Hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas and follow it up with the moisturizer. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine to reduce any itching or inflammation. Make sure to avoid further use of multani mitti and apple cider vinegar on your face.

I'm really concerned about the pigmentation on my face since I stopped using the No Scar cream. Its really red and Im not sure what to do to make it better. Are there any treatments you would recommend to help with these side effects? Id really appreciate your advice.

To alleviate face pigmentation and redness caused by No Scar cream, apply a topical treatment like Kojic acid, vitamin C serum, or niacinamide cream, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice, laser therapy, or chemical peels to help reduce hyperpigmentation and promote even skin tone.

I'm thinking about cutting my hair short, but I'm worried it might change the natural color or somehow make it darker. Is there any truth to this idea, or is it just a myth? My aunt once said her hair got darker after she cut it, but I'm unsure if that would happen to me too since I've never done it before. What do you think?

Thats not true you can have hairstyle of your choice no problem
