Question

I've got a dark brown burn mark on my upper lip from the wax I used yesterday. I'm really worried about it and was hoping you could recommend an ointment or something to help it go away quickly. Any advice?

I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection and promote healing of the burn patch. Apply a thin layer of Neosporin over the affected area twice a day for faster recovery. Additionally, you can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin and reduce inflammation.

Question

I've been dealing with really itchy skin on my leg for about a year now, and it's led to these black patches forming. On top of that, I've started having some breathing problems and I'm worried it might be an allergy reaction to cold. Could these symptoms be related, and should I be concerned about the patches and breathing issues?

Question

I recently started using a new sunscreen and I've noticed that my skin feels a bit darker and dull after applying it. Is this something normal with sunscreens, or should I consider switching to a different one?

Question

I had eye herpes a while back in October 2016, and since then I've been left with these scars on my forehead. It's been about four months now. I've been using Demelan cream twice a day, and at night, I apply Aziderm cream for about 15 minutes. Is there anything else I should be doing, or do you think this routine will eventually help with the scars? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.
