I've been using Myfair cream on my face for the past two weeks, and it seems to be making my skin glow. I havent noticed any side effects so far. Should I keep using it, or would you advise otherwise?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is not recommended to use Myfair cream for face glowing as it contains hydroquinone which can have potential side effects in the long term such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin. Instead, you can switch to a safer alternative like Kojic acid cream or Vitamin C serum for a more natural and gentle approach to achieve glowing skin. Apply a pea-sized amount of Kojic acid cream or Vitamin C serum on your face once daily in the evening for best results.

I went to see a dermatologist, and she put me on finasteride 1 mg twice a week. I'm really nervous about the side effects since its connected to the endocrine system. What do you think I should do?

I'm really worried about my face. A couple of years ago, I got mango acid on my skin, and now I've got these small black pits. They are all over my face and I'm not sure what to do about it. I'm feeling pretty self-conscious and wondering if there's any treatment that could help improve my skin?
The scars and hyperpigmentation from mango acid exposure two years ago can be challenging to treat, but consider consulting a dermatologist for professional advice; they may recommend treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy to help reduce the appearance of scars and dark spots, and also prescribe topical creams or serums containing ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or retinoids to promote skin brightening and collagen production.
