I've noticed this dark patch of skin on my lower abdomen for the past few months, and now there's a red border forming around it. It's not itchy or raised, and it doesn't feel any different from the surrounding skin. What could this be? Should I be concerned?

Question

I've been using this topical lulifin 1 cream and some oral capsules that my doctor prescribed for a fungal issue in my groin area. Its only been two days, but my skin turned all milky white and it's starting to peel with tiny blisters, plus there's this burning sensation. Is this a normal reaction? I should probably mention that I've used an over-the-counter cream before and ended up with thin skin and stretch marks. Could that have something to do with what's happening now, or is this something else?

Question

I've been using Memopi HC for around 6 years, and it's helped improve my complexion quite a bit. But when I stop using it, my whole face turns red. I'm worried and curious to find out if there's anything else I can try, maybe something more natural, to help with my complexion? What could be causing this redness, and how can I manage it?

Question

I'm struggling with acne scars and dark spots on my face and I'm really curious if taking Evion capsules orally would be safe for me. I'm also in the middle of a weight loss journey; I'm hitting the gym regularly and sticking to a diet plan. My big worry is whether Evion could lead to weight gain. Are there any side effects I should know about?
