I've recently had to get stitches on my forehead for a cut, and now that they're out, there's this noticeable mark left behind. I'm a bit worried and wondering if there's a way to help reduce or get rid of the scar. Could you give me some advice on what steps I might take? Maybe certain treatments or creams to consider?

I've got a small lump on my cheek that popped up a few hours after I woke up. It's lighter than my normal skin tone, and I can't figure out what it is or how it happened. It's really noticeable and I'm a bit worried. What could this be?
