I've had these burns on my face from hot oil spills for about two months now, and the marks just aren't going away. I've tried different creams, but nothing seems to work. What should I do?

For the marks left on your face, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can also use a cream with tretinoin, such as Retin-A cream, to help improve the texture of the skin.

Question

I'm really worried because I used zalim lotion and garlic on my ringworms for just 23 days, and now I've got these brownish scars. I'm feeling really tense about it and don't even want to go outside because of how they look. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

Question

I've recently noticed that my forehead is getting really tan, and I realized I've never really paid much attention to my skincare until now. I'm 24 and have started using a Himalaya walnut scrub, neem face wash, and kesar face pack for about a month. I can see some improvement on my cheeks but not on my forehead. Also, since I started using the neem face wash, I get a lot of pimples. They seem to clear up after using the face wash, but new ones just pop up in different places. What can I do to get rid of the tan on my forehead and prevent these pimples?

Question

I've been using betnovate n cream for the past 6 years, but I stopped about 15 days ago. Now my face is really red and itchy, with dry skin and tiny blisters. I've tried using Cetaphil lotion and cleanser, which helped with the redness and dryness, but the blisters and itchiness won't go away. Can you please help me figure out what to do?
