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'm dealing with some intense itching on my scrotum that started last night, and it's getting really unbearable. There's no redness or any marks, though. Any idea what could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?
The itching on your scrotum could be due to various reasons such as fungal infections, eczema, or contact dermatitis, so apply an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream and if the itching persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit worried about my skin. I've been using this cream for about 6 months, but I've started to notice my skin is getting really thin. Now I'm concerned about stopping it because I've heard there can be some scary side effects, like this thing they call permanent pig. Can you help me figure out the best way to stop using it without dealing with these side effects? I'm really looking for an alternative or anything that might help ease this transition.

I've had tanning on my hands since visiting a coastal area a while back. How can I get rid of it? Any advice would really help.
To reduce tanning on your hands, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply the cream to the affected areas twice a day for several weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on your hands daily can help prevent further tanning.
