I've been using Lumise C gel for my acne marks and skin tan, but I'm also struggling with low vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels. Could these deficiencies be affecting my skin, or is the gel enough to help with my issues? I'm really concerned about how to get my skin healthy again. Any advice would be great.

Using Lumise C gel can help with your acne marks and skin tan. It contains Vitamin C which can help brighten the skin and reduce dark spots. Additionally, it can also help in collagen production which can improve skin texture. For your low Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels, I recommend taking supplements such as Neurobion Forte (Vitamin B12) and D-rise (Vitamin D) as prescribed by your doctor.

I'm noticing some black spots under my armpits lately and I'm not sure what's causing them. Could this be some kind of allergic reaction? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance. What do you think it could be?

These black spots could be due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance or diabetes. I recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin, such as Melalite Forte cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, maintaining good blood sugar control through diet and exercise can also help improve these spots.
