I've noticed that my arms are darker compared to the rest of my body, which has been bothering me. I've tried using body lotions, homemade scrubs, and cucumber juice masks, but they only seem to work temporarily. I'm looking for something effective to help even out my skin tone. Plus, I have sensitive and slightly dry skin. Any advice on what could work for me?

To help even out your skin tone and address sensitivity and dryness, I recommend using a skin-lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. You can try using "Meladerm" cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, incorporating a moisturizer like "Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream" can help hydrate your skin and improve its overall texture. Remember to apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from further darkening.

I'm dealing with scalp psoriasis and my dermatologist recommended I use Halox S lotion. I'm a bit confused about the right order of things. Should I be shampooing my hair before I put on the lotion, or is it better to shampoo after rinsing the lotion out?
Psorolin B ointment is advised for local application, also take tab allegra 120 mg orally for 2 weeks, if any side-effects dermatologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm wondering how long I should wait between my 56 glycolic peels? And how soon can I expect to see some results from using a glycolic peel?
Generally, the time interval between 5-6 glycolic peels should be about 2-4 weeks apart. The effects of a glycolic peel usually start to reflect within a few days to a week after the treatment. It is important to follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider for the best results.
