Question

I've just finished a treatment for lichen planus, and the bumps and itching have stopped, thankfully. However, the marks are still visible, and I really want them gone quicker if possible. The dermatologist mentioned they'd fade over time, but is there anything I can do to speed up the process and get rid of these marks in a few months to a year?

Question

I've been dealing with perioral hyperpigmentation on my cheeks, and it turns out my sister has the same issue. My doctor suggested I use Kozilite H cream with hydroquinone 2%. Do you think it's safe for my face, and how long should I stick with this treatment? Also, I've had really dark circles since I was a kid, so it's kind of a heredity thing. I don't want to put any hydroquinone cream around my eyes. Could you recommend a good, non-irritating under-eye cream to help reduce them?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I've been using lemon essential oil on my belly button to help with skin marks and dark tone, like I found online. But every time I put a drop or two there, my tummy starts aching, and I can't help but worry. Could you let me know if I've done something wrong or if there's anything I should do to feel better?

Question

I've been using Melacare for over a year now, but only occasionally and I haven't noticed any side effects. Should I stop using the cream altogether, or is it okay to continue this way?
