I've seen my dad use Sofradex cream for his psoriasis, and he's had good results with it. I'm 19 and struggling with a lot of pimples on my face and neck. Is it okay for me to use the same cream for my pimples? I'm not sure if it's suitable, and I'd really like to get my skin looking better. What do you think?

Can I start using Skinlite cream again on my tan spots? I tried it last year and it worked wonders, but then my face got really dark, and I had to see a doctor to get my original complexion back. After a family trip to Mumbai in June, I got pretty tanned. Is it okay to apply Skinlite on alternate days to those dark areas, or should I be wary of any side effects?

I've noticed a little white spot on my upper lip and I'm really concerned about it. It's just this tiny dot and I'm not sure what it is or how to handle it. Could you let me know what this could be and how I might go about removing it or treating it? I'm feeling a bit uneasy about it.

Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .
