I've been using this Kojivit Plus cream my dermatologist recommended for my dark spots, and it has kojic acid in it. I've been at it for a couple of months, but instead of getting lighter, my dark spots seem to be getting darker. Is it possible that this cream could be making them worse?

View allMy eight-year-old got bitten by something last night, maybe a bug or ant, and there's a big swelling on the front of it. I'm wondering if I can use clobetasone cream on the area. Could you advise me on this? I'm really unsure what to do and would appreciate any help.
For an 8-year-old child with an insect bite, it's essential to monitor the symptoms and take appropriate action. _Symptoms to Monitor_ 1. _Swelling_: Keep an eye on the swelling, and if it increases or spreads, seek medical attention. 2. _Redness and Warmth_: If the affected area becomes increasingly red, warm, or tender, consult a doctor. 3. _Pus or Discharge_: If you notice pus or discharge from the affected area, seek medical attention. _Using Clobetasone Cream_ 1. _Consult a Doctor_: Before applying Clobetasone cream, consult a doctor or pediatrician to confirm the diagnosis and recommend the best course of treatment. 2. _Dosage and Application_: If the doctor recommends Clobetasone cream, follow their instructions for dosage and application. _Alternative Remedies_ 1. _Cold Compress_: Apply a cold compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to reduce swelling. 2. _Antihistamine Cream or Hydrocortisone Cream_: Over-the-counter antihistamine cream or hydrocortisone cream can help alleviate itching and inflammation. 3. _Calamine Lotion_: Calamine lotion can help soothe the skin and reduce itching. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Severe Symptoms_: If your child experiences severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, or dizziness, seek immediate medical attention. 2. _Increasing Swelling or Redness_: If the swelling or redness increases or spreads, consult a doctor. 3. _Pus or Discharge_: If you notice pus or discharge from the affected area, seek medical attention.

I'm really worried about my hand. The back of my palm has turned black, and it's super dry. I've been using olive oil for the past four days, hoping it'll help, but I'm not sure if it's working. I've also been using hand sanitizer and Dettol hand wash a lot. Could that be affecting my skin? Is this why my hand looks like this? I've got some photos of it too.
Yes you can use it no problem, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment
