View allCan I use desonide cream to help with my skin tone? Is it safe for someone like me with dark, oily skin and acne marks?
Desonide cream is a topical corticosteroid primarily used to treat skin inflammation and allergies; while it may temporarily lighten skin tone due to its anti-inflammatory effects, using it for fairness is not recommended, as prolonged use can lead to skin thinning, acne, and other adverse effects, especially on oily and acne-prone skin.

I'm dealing with some serious itching in my butt crack, and it's driving me crazy. Living in Mumbai, the humidity makes me sweat a lot, especially down there. I also have thick body hair, which doesnt help. Even touching it lightly causes a painful burning feeling. Any advice on what could help?
I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Canesten) twice a day in the affected area. Keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose cotton underwear to allow for better air circulation. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

My lips have become really dark and I'm not sure why, especially since I rarely smoke. I've tried using various oil creams but nothing seems to help. Could you suggest the best treatment to help lighten them?
Darkening of the lips can be caused by various factors, including smoking and sun exposure. To help lighten your lips, you can try using a lip lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. One option is "Melalite Cream" which contains hydroquinone. Apply a thin layer on your lips once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a lip balm with SPF during the day can help protect your lips from further darkening due to sun exposure. Make sure to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants to support overall skin health, including your lips.
