I've been using Selsun shampoo to manage my dandruff, applying it about twice a week. I'm currently breastfeeding my baby and I'm a bit concerned. Is it alright to keep using Selsun while I'm breastfeeding, or is there any risk involved?

Can I use Dermadew cream for skin brightening, or should I try Angie Thailand soap instead? I'm really curious about what would work better. Could you please advise me?

For skin brightening, Dermadew cream is a safer option as it's a topical cream specifically formulated for skin brightening and hyperpigmentation, whereas Angie Thailand soap may contain harsh ingredients like hydroquinone or mercury, which can have adverse effects; however, always do a patch test and consult a dermatologist before using any new skincare product.
