I've just applied castor oil on my face for the first time, and suddenly I've got these small red bumps popping up all over. I'm not sure what's going on. Could you tell me what might be causing this and if there's any ointment or treatment I could use to help calm my skin down? Would appreciate any advice you have!

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or irritation from the castor oil. You can try using a hydrocortisone cream, such as Cortaid, to help reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for up to a week. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI've had laser therapy about 45 times to get rid of facial hair below my eyes and above my beard line, but I stopped the sessions around a year and a half ago. Now, I'm noticing the hair is growing back on my cheeks. Do I need to go for more sessions to keep it away? And is this something I'll have to do forever? The treatment is pretty expensive at 1600 rupees per session, so I'm not keen on the idea of lifelong sessions. Plus, I'm wondering if my doctor charged me more than usual. Are there cheaper laser options available? I really need a permanent and cost-effective solution to get rid of facial hair.
yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent

I've been dealing with a lot of dryness on my skin lately, and I'm not sure what to do. I heard about Luliconazole cream and was wondering if it's a good option to use for dryness. Also, I've started washing my hair daily with an anti-dandruff shampoo because my scalp gets really flaky. Is that okay to do, or could it be making the dryness worse?

I'm using Deriva Cms gel for treating my acne, but I have sensitive combination skin, and I'm a bit unsure about how to go about it. Should I apply the gel just on the acne spots, or is it okay to put it on my whole face? I'm really hoping to get this right, so your advice would be super helpful!
You can use it no problem and also you can apply gently all over the face it contain retinoids which help in nourishing your skin.
