Question

I'm dealing with some black patches around my chin, right below my mouth, and near my nose and lips. They sometimes peel off, leaving dry skin, but right now they're just dark spots. I was told by a dermatologist a year ago that it might be seborrheic melanosis, but the treatment she suggested didn't work, and she mentioned it can't be treated permanently. It had lightened up a bit, but now it's dark again. Is there any way to treat this permanently?

Question

So, I'm a 32-year-old guy and a couple of days ago, my finger got pinched in a door. It was just a tiny part of the skin, so I didn't pay much attention at the time. But then yesterday, I noticed this black spot on that same part of my finger, like under the skin. Do you think it could be a blood clot or is there something else going on here?

Question

I've been using a fair soap with ingredients like Liquorice extract, Aloe Vera, Vitamin C, Apple juice, and Tamarind extract. I'm worried there might be some side effects from it. Can you tell me if using these ingredients on my skin might cause any issues?

Question
