I've noticed this deep horizontal crease line on my stomach, right below my ribs. It's kind of faint in the morning but by the end of the day, it becomes this deep, often red line that's pretty unattractive, especially when I wear a Saree or lehenga. Could you recommend an over-the-counter cream to help get rid of it permanently?

I recently got into a road accident and ended up with some pretty serious scratches on my left leg and hand. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Betnovat C cream on these wounds. Is it safe, or should I be considering something else? I'm a bit worried about using the wrong thing.

I've got a wheatish sensitive combination skin type and I'm curious about improving my skin tone. I've tried the Dermadew Aloe lotion at night as per my dermatologist's suggestion, but I didn't really see any noticeable changes. I recently found out about Dermadew Glow cream and I'm wondering if it's safe for my skin and if it might help me achieve a clearer, more even complexion. Would love to know your thoughts!

Dermadew glo is advised, if any side-effects dermat opinion is advsed to the patient.
