Can you give me any advice on a cream or natural remedy to help fade a skin burn mark on my face? I bleached my skin recently and ended up with a burn. It's gotten a bit better, but I still have some noticeable scars and marks. I'd really appreciate any suggestions to help get rid of these.

To help reduce the appearance of skin burn marks on your face, you can consider using a cream containing silicone gel. One example is Mederma Advanced Scar Gel, which can be applied to the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you may also benefit from using a cream containing vitamin E, such as Strataderm, to help improve the texture of the scarred skin. Remember to apply these creams as directed by the manufacturer for best results.

View allI just drank milk mixed with onions by mistake, and I'm really worried now. Is there any chance that this could lead to vitiligo? Also, while we're at it, does vitiligo have any treatment options that actually work?
Accidentally drinking milk with onions will not cause vitiligo on your skin. Vitiligo is a skin condition where patches of skin lose their pigment. There is no known cure for vitiligo, but treatment options such as topical corticosteroids, phototherapy, and skin grafting may help improve the appearance of the skin. If you suspect you have vitiligo, it is best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management.

I'm hoping to get some advice on using erytop cream for my acne. Should I be applying it in the morning or at night? Also, I'm 22 and just a bit concerned about any side effects if I use it for a long time. What's your take on that?
For acne treatment with Erytop cream, it is usually recommended to apply it at night before bedtime. Cleanse your face before applying a thin layer of Erytop cream on the affected areas. As for long term use, Erytop cream may cause side effects such as dryness, redness, peeling, or irritation of the skin. It is important to use a good moisturizer and sunscreen during the day while using Erytop cream to minimize these side effects.

I'm a bit concerned about the prescription my dermatologist gave. She's put me on Aprezo 30 mg to be taken every night for 10 days, and then she wants me to up it to 12 tablets for the next 20 days. Is this medication safe to take like that? Just want to make sure it's okay for me.
Aprezo 30mg is a medication containing Apremilast, which is used to treat certain types of skin conditions such as psoriasis. The dosage regimen prescribed by your dermatologist is commonly used to gradually introduce the medication to your system and minimize potential side effects. Starting with 14 tablet daily at night for 10 days and then increasing to 12 tablet for the next 20 days is a safe and effective way to titrate the dose of Aprezo. This regimen helps your body adjust to the medication and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.
