Question

Is it possible to permanently lighten or whiten my entire skin tone without surgery? What treatments are available for this, and do they actually work long-term? I'm curious about safe options that don't involve plastic surgery.

While achieving true permanent skin whitening without surgery is not a guaranteed outcome, several treatments can help lighten and brighten skin tone, address hyperpigmentation, and improve overall skin appearance. These treatments include laser therapy, chemical peels, and specialized skin lightening creams.

Question

I've got a pretty big boil on my left calf, and after a while, it started leaking pus and blood for around 15 days. It's been about 10 days since I began using antibiotics and ointment, as my dermatologist suggested, but it still isn't healing. I change the dressing with silver sulphadiazine gel every time. I'm really worried and wondering what might be going on. Any idea why it's not improving?

Question

I'm a bit confused about when to apply Epiduo and Zyclin for my back. Should I use them both during the day, or is it better to apply one in the morning and the other at night? I'd appreciate some guidance on getting the most effective results.

Question

I'm using SkinLite on my face every night, and I'm wondering if it's okay to also apply vitamin E capsules afterward. Also, during the day, can I use lemon juice on my face, or would that react badly with the SkinLite? I'm a bit worried about how these might interact with each other.
