I've got a question about how I'm using my hair lotions. I put one on during the day after shampooing, and then I use a different one at night when I'm going to bed. Do I need to wash my hair again before putting on the night lotion, or can I just apply it straight away?

It is not necessary to wash your hair again before applying the second lotion at night. You can apply the second hair lotion without washing your hair again.

I'm considering getting another chemical peel for my acne because a doctor recommended it and also suggested using a skin lightening cream. I'm curious if it's okay to go ahead with both treatments. Would you say that using the skin whitening cream and continuing with the chemical peel is a safe and effective plan, or should I be concerned about any side effects or issues? What do you think I should do?

-Yes, you can continue with the chemical peels and skin-lightening cream if recommended by your doctor. Follow their advice closely, use sunscreen daily, and monitor your skin's response to avoid irritation.

I'm a bit worried about the MINOZ ER 45 that my doctor gave me for my acne. I'm supposed to take it for 6 months. Can you tell me if it's a steroid or just an antibiotic?

Gradually reduce the use of Panderm Plus, switch to a gentle moisturizer, and consider using acne treatment options that dont involve steroids. Consulting with a dermatologist is always a great next step to find a tailored solution for your skin.
