Hydroquinone for skin lightening

Male | 18

Let me give you the lowdown on hydroquinone: it’s a common ingredient found in skin lightening products. This is because it works by reducing melanin in the skin. So if you have dark spots such as age or sun spots, using hydroquinone could help fade them away. However, don’t forget that you must be cautious not to misuse it since this can cause some undesired effects. As a rule, always follow directions given by the manufacturer when using any cosmetic product and also watch out for any allergic reactions.

Can my skin color still return after not taking iron supplements for a year

Female | 19

Yes, definitely! Starting iron supplementation can help improve your skin color. Symptoms of low iron, like pallor and fatigue, can show up in your body. Most iron deficiency is due to not getting enough iron in your diet. A balanced diet should include iron-rich foods like spinach and meat. Seek advice from a healthcare professional for suitable recommendations.

Acne is common, causing pimples and oily skin. Hair follicles ge­t blocked with oil and dead skin cells. You can try soap with salicylic acid or be­nzoyl peroxide. These­ ingredients unplug pores and re­duce acne. Gently wash your face­, avoid harsh scrubbing.

If you suspect you have a belly button infection, it's important to take appropriate steps.. Clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap. Keep the area dry and avoid excessive moisture.

I am 23 year old. sometimes before I was suffering from HSP , now I recovered from disease but some spot are appread on my legs , so please help me out with any cream or ointment for removing the spot?

Female | 23

 It may be that the points are healing or that the disease left some changes behind in the skin. One thing that could help you get rid of those spots is to apply a nice hydrating cream or lotion with vitamin E or aloe vera. Note that outbreaks can take a little longer to fade away, yet hydrating your skin can help a bit.
