I'm on the lookout for a cream that's good for fairness that won't come with any side effects and that I can use for the long run, especially since I have oily skin. Do you have any recommendations?

For fairness and to address oily skin in the long run, you can consider using a cream containing "Kojic acid" and "Niacinamide". One such cream is "Kojivit Plus Gel". It can be applied twice daily on the affected areas after cleansing the skin. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream.

I've used Dettol on my skin, and now the area around it has darkened. Is this something that will go away on its own? It's also causing some irritation. What should I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin reaction to the Dettol. To help with the irritation and darkening of the skin, you can try using a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Additionally, you can use a soothing moisturizer like Cetaphil to help hydrate the skin. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really getting worried because I have these corns on my left leg that just aren't healing, even after more than a month. Can you suggest any medicine that might help?

For corns, you can try using Salicylic Acid topical solution. Apply it directly on the corns once daily for about a week. You can also use a corn plaster containing Salicylic Acid for better results. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for proper usage.
