My dad has a nail infection, and we were told to use Loceryl nail lacquer for it. But it seems like none of the pharmacies have it in stock right now. Could you suggest another nail lacquer that might work similarly? I'm a bit concerned about finding the right alternative for him.

I'm Pratik and I've been on a skin fairness treatment for the past two months. The doctors had me use a series of creams like MF Sone, Desosoft, Sudif, Ekran water gel, and KLM AHA. I've noticed some positive changes, but I'm currently just using MF SudiF cream, a face wash, and sunscreen. I'm worried that my skin might darken again. Can I start using MF Sone cream again if that happens? If it's not advisable, can you let me know why?

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