I've been struggling with acne marks on my face, and once they heal, the scabs leave behind fresh pink skin that doesn't blend in well with the rest of my face. It takes forever for these spots to lighten up or become less noticeable. This whole situation has really hit my confidence hard. I feel embarrassed to go out and often end up avoiding social gatherings because of it. I'm basically drained emotionally by all this. Is there anything I can do to help make these marks fade faster or blend better?

Question

I'm really concerned about these lines appearing near my shoulders and armpits on both sides. They've been there for almost a year and seem to be increasing over time. I'm worried because I don't know what they are or what's causing them. Can someone help me understand what this could be and suggest any remedies? I'd also like to know how I can prevent this from getting worse.

Question

I've got this melamine pigmentation issue right above my upper lip, and it's making that area look darker than the rest of my face. I tried using HH lite cream for a while, but after about 23 days, I noticed my skin there got reddish and swollen. Do you know of any other creams that might help without causing these problems? Also, I've got mixed skin, and every time I put on sunscreen, I start sweating a lot, leaving my face looking really oily and dark. Do you have any suggestions that could help out with both of these issues?

Question

I'm dealing with angiekartomas on the back skin of my penis. I've read about laser treatment and was wondering if I could drop by your clinic in SR Nagar for a consultation. Is that possible?
