View allI've been taking CANTHEX tablets for my skin pigmentation as the doctor said my weight gain might be causing this issue. But I stumbled across some info online suggesting that CANTHEX is also used for weight loss. I'm a bit confused and kind of worried does this mean that if I continue taking these tablets, there's a chance I might put on more weight?
No need to worry you can use it as advised by your doctor for pigmentation,there is no such record stating it's potential in weight gain.

I've been dealing with lichen planus pigmentosus and it's left some noticeable acne on my face. I'm really into makeup and I've been wondering if it's okay to use it to cover up these spots. I just want to make sure I'm not going to make things worse or do something that could harm my skin. Could using makeup cause any issues with acne from lichen planus pigmentosus? What should I consider before applying anything?
It is generally safe to apply makeup to hide acne caused by lichen planus pigmentosus. However, it is important to choose non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic makeup products to avoid exacerbating the acne. You can use a gentle cleanser, apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer, and then use a concealer or foundation to cover the acne. Additionally, you can consider using topical treatments prescribed by your dermatologist to treat the underlying lichen planus pigmentosus.
