I've noticed some changes in my skin color with different soaps. Normally, my skin tone is cream-colored, but using Santoor soap seemed to make it lighter and better. However, when I switched to Mysore Sandal soap, my skin started looking darker. Someone mentioned that Santoor soap is meant for women, so I stopped using it. Can you suggest a different soap that might help my skin get back to its original color? I'm really curious and a bit concerned about how this keeps happening.

Soap preference can be personal and skin-type dependent.
To help you find a suitable soap, consider the following:
- Look for soaps with natural ingredients: Soaps containing ingredients like coconut oil, olive oil, or shea butter can be gentle and nourishing.
- Avoid harsh soaps: Soaps with high pH levels or containing harsh chemicals can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and darkening.
- Opt for fragrance-free or hypoallergenic soaps: These soaps are less likely to contain irritating ingredients that can affect your skin tone.
Some soap options you can consider:
- Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar
- Nivea Soft Moisturizing Soap
- Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
- Himalaya Herbals Gentle Bathing Soap

View allI'm a bit confused about using halotop. Should I apply it before or after I wash my hair? And should I be putting it directly on my scalp or just on my hair? I'm not sure what's best.
You should use Halotop after washing your hair. Apply it directly on the scalp, not on the hair. Use a small amount and gently massage it into the scalp.

I've been having these really itchy rashes on my skin for a while now. I saw a dermatologist and she mentioned it was a mild infection, so I took ebast 10mg for 20 days like she suggested. But the thing is, the rashes keep popping back up. It's been going on for around 4 months, and I'm starting to wonder if just taking antihistamines is the right approach. The second I stop taking ebast, the rashes come back after just 2 days. Im just not sure who I should talk to for a deeper look into what's causing this. What could be causing these rashes, and how do we figure out the right treatment?
Antihistamines are generally safe for long term consumption. If stopping the medicaitons causes your symptoms to recur, it may be best to get further evaluation done and ascertain your allergic triggers. Consult an Immunologist to get a more detailed treatment plan.
