I'm considering using Brite lite cream for skin whitening, but I'm a bit worried about its safety. Does it have any side effects I should be aware of? Also, I've heard about Ethiglo plus tablets and I'm curious if they actually work. Can you give me some advice on this?

I've got these small holes and some redness on my skin because of pimples. They aren't really noticeable unless you're pretty close, like 5 feet away or less. I'm currently using a cream with hq 2 vv. Do you think I should reach out to a doctor for this, or will it just get better on its own over time? Can you take a look at my skin in the pictures and maybe suggest something?

I'm 18 and my beard still hasn't grown in yet. I don't really have a proper moustache either. Is there something I can do about this? Could you please help me understand what's going on?
