I've been using Skinlite cream for a while now, and I noticed it made my skin really fair. But when I stopped, my skin got darker, which was really frustrating. I tried using it again, hoping to get the same result, but this time it just didn't work. I'm really worried because I want to lighten my skin tone, and it's bothering my husband. What should I do?

Continued and prolonged use of skinlite cream can lead to skin darkening when discontinued, a condition known as rebound hyperpigmentation. To address this issue and lighten your complexion, you can try using a combination of Kojic acid cream in the morning and Hydroquinone cream at night. Apply Kojic acid cream in the morning and Hydroquinone cream at night for 4-6 weeks. Make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening. If you experience any irritation or side effects, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

View allI've been dealing with a dandruff issue and my doctor initially recommended Topisal 6. However, when I went to the pharmacy, they didn't have it in stock, so they gave me Propysalic NF instead. I'm wondering if Propysalic NF works just as well as Topisal 6, or should I try to get back on Topisal 6? Would love to hear your thoughts on whether this switch might affect how effective it is for treating my dandruff.
Propysalic NF contains clobetasol propionate and salicylic acid, which are effective in treating dandruff. However, it may have a different potency compared to Topisal 6%, which contains clobetasol propionate only. Propysalic NF can be effective in treating dandruff, but if you are not seeing the desired results, you may consider switching back to Topisal 6% for better control of your dandruff. Follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for optimal results.

I've been dealing with some hair fall issues and saw a doctor who recommended Kz lotion and Recute hair oil. While the hair fall has reduced, I'm not really seeing any new hair growth. My hair still feels pretty weak. I've heard about using egg masks for hairare they actually good? Also, are there any foods that can help with hair growth? I'm really hoping to get my hair strong and thick. Any suggestions?
Minoxidil is known to stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness. You can apply it to the scalp twice daily. Additionally, you can continue using the Kz lotion and Recute hair oil as prescribed by your doctor. Egg mask can be beneficial for hair as it is rich in proteins and nutrients that can nourish the hair follicles.
