Question

I've put Dettol on my face with a cotton swab earlier today around noon, and it started burning. It first turned black and then went red. I tried cold water, ice, and later put some Lacto Calamine lotion on it at around 3pm. There's still a blackish mark that's worrying me. What should I do now?

Question

I noticed what I initially thought was a bite, and it was a pale red at first. But now it's turned this darker red and kind of looks like a blood blister. Should I be worried about this change, and does it sound like something I should get checked out?

Question

I'm really stressed out because my skin's gotten darker from using pads. I've tried different home remedies and creams, but it's only made things worse, and now I've lost my original skin tone. I can't stand the way my skin looks right now and it's affecting my confidence. Can anyone guide me on how to fix this and get my normal skin back?
