View allI'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?
That could be due to insect bite, don't try to squeeze it, visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm dealing with this issue where my palm is getting darker, and a dermatologist mentioned it's hyperpigmentation. I've already tried medications from two different specialists, but it hasnt helped at all. I used to stay up really late for about 6-7 years, around 12 years ago. Im also a vegan. Could any of these be related to whats going on with my skin? I'm really curious about what else I can do to sort this out.
Hyperpigmentation of palms occur because of various causes like deficiency of vitamin B12, Addison's disease , malabsorption syndrome etc. So you need some investigation to exclude these conditions. Meet a dermatologist. Start vitaminB12 supplements.
