Question

I've got this big black patch on my right shoulder called a baker nevus, and I know it's harmless, but it's become a big deal for me, especially because it messes with my confidence. People say its not a big deal, but that's easy for them to say. I find myself avoiding places where I'd need to take off my shirt like the gym or beach, and even at home, I don't like being shirtless because of it. It's really affecting me psychologically, and sometimes, I just feel really frustrated about it. What can I do to get rid of or manage it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question

I've been experiencing this intense burning sensation on my arm that came out of nowhere while I was just lying down, and now there's this mysterious spot that appeared. I'm on a medication called Prothedian. Could the spot be connected to the medication, or should I be worried about something else? What do you think might be going on?

Question

I'm really concerned about using Diprovate. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? How severe can they be? Also, is there a chance it could cause pimples or any kind of skin damage?
