I've had a few boils on my lower abdomen and now that they've healed, the skin in that area has darkened. Do you have any recommendations for an over-the-counter cream or ointment that could help lighten these dark spots?

I'm really curious about using vitamin E and fish liver oil tablets for my hair care. I got the vitamin E 400mg and cod liver oil B.P 300mg tablets from a pharmacy, but I'm unsure about the right dosage. How many of these can I safely take each day? Can you help me figure this out?
Vitamin E and cod liver oil can be beneficial for hair care, but it's essential to follow proper dosages to avoid adverse effects. Recommended Dosages 1. Vitamin E (400mg): The recommended daily intake of vitamin E varies from 15mg to 20mg. Taking 400mg per day is significantly higher than the recommended amount. High doses of vitamin E can cause adverse effects like headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Consider taking 1 tablet (400mg) every 2-3 days. 2. Cod Liver Oil B.P (300mg): Cod liver oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D. The recommended daily intake of cod liver oil varies from 1000mg to 3000mg. Taking 1-2 tablets (300mg each) per day should be safe.
