I've had tanning on my hands since visiting a coastal area a while back. How can I get rid of it? Any advice would really help.

To reduce tanning on your hands, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply the cream to the affected areas twice a day for several weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on your hands daily can help prevent further tanning.

I've been dealing with scabies for half a year now and it's super frustrating. I tried some cream that starts with an L, but I had an allergic reaction to it. Then I used the Derbac lotion, like, four times, and it still hasn't worked. I even called my doctor and they said there's nothing else they can prescribe. Is there really nothing else I can do? My skin is a mess from all the scratching, and even anti-itch creams aren't helping. What should I do?

I've been using Fucibet cream since 2010, and every time I try to stop, I start having issues like itchy red spots on my skin, some bumpiness, and my eyes start watering a lot. I'm seeing a homeopathic practitioner, but it hasn't solved the problem yet. Could you suggest a good homeopathic doctor who might be able to help with this?

In summary, it's important to stop using the steroid-based cream gradually, moisturize, and possibly seek additional treatment options, including a combination of homeopathic remedies and dermatological care, to support your skin in healing.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection and decided to get candiforce 200 and keto soap. Is there any chance you could give me a digital prescription for these? I'm a bit concerned and just want to make sure I'm on the right track.
