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.

I've been using Skinlite cream since January 2017, but when I stopped, I noticed my nose and mouth area getting darker. I just saw a dermatologist in Warangal, and he recommended some tablets and Nadibact gel. I feel really self-conscious at work when talking to my colleagues because of this. Is there a way to lighten my skin again? Can you help me figure out what to do next?

I'm dealing with a stubborn fungal infection on my butt that's been bothering me for a few months now. I did see a doctor, and they gave me some cream and powder to use, which seemed to clear things up at first. But now, instead of that round, rash-like infection, I've developed bubble or pimple-like fungal bumps. Any idea what might be happening or how I should handle this? I'm really hoping to find a way to get rid of it for good.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a different type of fungal infection after treating the initial round. For the bubble or pimple-like fungal infection, you can try using Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg tablet once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've got two corns right next to each other on my left index finger, and I've been using those salicylic acid corn caps to treat them, but they just keep coming back. What else can I try to finally get rid of them? Is there something I'm missing here, or maybe another treatment I should consider?
