I've been using a skin lightening cream both during the day and at night, and I initially saw good results. But now, I've developed a dark spot under my eye. What can I do to get rid of it?

I'm dealing with acne and dark spots, and I started using melalite cream. Is it actually safe for me to use this cream? Are there any risks or side effects I should know about? I'm just a bit worried and want to make sure I'm not doing more harm than good.

Melalite cream contains hydroquinone which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, it is important to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional as prolonged use of hydroquinone can have side effects such as skin irritation, redness, or a bluish-black darkening of the skin. It is recommended to use melalite cream in a thin layer on the affected areas once daily at night.

So, I've been dealing with a fungal skin infection and tried using KZ soap for about three weeks. I stopped using it, and now, just a week later, the infection is back. I'm 27 and a bit worried. What should I do next?

-It seems the fungal infection wasn't fully cleared. I recommend visiting a doctor for a proper antifungal treatment plan. You might need a longer course or a different medication to fully resolve the issue.

I've been dealing with some psychological issues recently and ended up with several blade cuts on my leg. Things are better now, but the cuts left a lot of marks. The scars aren't too deep since the blades only grazed the outer layer, but multiple cuts caused quite a noticeable scar. I'm looking for some advice on which ointment might help peel off dead skin and promote fresh skin growth. My skin's become extremely dry around those marks too. Could you suggest something that might help me with this issue?
