I've been using Olifair for just under a week now, and my face has gotten really bright and fair. I'm a bit concerned though, could it lead to a skin allergy or even skin cancer since it's caused such a noticeable change in a short time? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

I'm really concerned because about 60 days ago, I had a sexual encounter with protection. However, I just got my herpes antibody test results, and they're showing 3.5 for IgM antibodies and 30 for IgG antibodies. Is it possible that herpes could've been transmitted even with protective sex? I'm also wondering if there's any specific treatment I should be considering.

Yes there are chances of you getting herpes despite of having protective sex,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm dealing with this dry and rough skin issue on my back, right around my spine. The rough patches are starting to spread out over more of my back, and it gets really itchy if I don't apply any skin cream like Fourderm. What's going on, and should I be worried about it spreading further?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm 18 and have been using Skin Light for a year now, but I've noticed I've got dark circles, and my cheekbone area seems a lot darker than before. It's really worrying me because I want to feel fair and beautiful again. I've been thinking about my future and how this could affect me. Can you suggest any cream that could help with this? Maybe something like Dr. Reddy's Venusia cream? I'd appreciate any advice you could offer!
