View allSo, my doctor had prescribed me this medication after I had a fractional laser treatment to help with redness. It's been about two months now, and I'm noticing some redness again. I'm worried if it's okay to start taking these tablets once more, or could that lead to any side effects since the doctor initially gave me 40 tablets? Can I reuse this medication safely?
It is safe to use this medication again if you are experiencing redness after 2 months. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and complete the full course of treatment. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further guidance.

How can I naturally remove small mole marks on my face? I have 2-3 moles that are about 2-3 mm wide and sit flat on the skin without any raised contour. I'd prefer avoiding surgery are there any effective home remedies or natural treatments you'd recommend?
Small moles can often be removed with natural methods like applying apple cider vinegar or tea tree oil. However, results are not guaranteed, and it's best to consult with a dermatologist for a safe and effective solution.

I'm really concerned about my oily skin and I've been wanting to achieve a fairer skin tone. Can you suggest a cream that can help me lighten my skin without causing any side effects? I'm looking for something that works quickly. Would appreciate your advice!
For instant fairness with no side effects on oily skin, you can consider using "Kojic Acid Cream". Apply a thin layer of this cream on your face once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from any potential sensitivity to sunlight.
