Hey doc, a few days ago, I was trying to get rid of some color on my forehead by rubbing it with a cloth, and now I've ended up with a small wound. It's healed, but there's this little black mark left behind. Any advice on how to get rid of this mark on my forehead?

View allWhat are some good under eye creams for hollow eyes that don't involve fillers or surgery? I've been noticing more hollowness lately and want something to help without going the invasive route. Any recommendations?
Under-eye hollows. Non-surgical solutions for sunken eyes ... Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative and natural treatment option for addressing sunken eyes.

I've been working as an assistant professor at an engineering college, and I've been using a skin cream called My Fair for about two months. But just last week, I went to my village and spent a lot of time working under the sun in the fields. This made my skin turn extremely dark. My friend, who recommended the cream, said I should have used sunscreen when going out. Thankfully, my skin's back to normal with the same cream, but I'm really troubled by what happened. Can you give me some advice on how to prevent this in the future and how to deal with this dependency on the cream? Id really appreciate some guidance.

My mom, who's 55, got a pimple on her neck last month. The doctor recommended a Mantoux test, and from the results, they mentioned she might have skin TB. The thing is, except for that pimple, she doesn't have any other symptoms of TB. I'm wondering if just one Mantoux test is really enough to diagnose TB, or should we be looking into more tests? And also, is skin TB something that's curable? Would love some guidance on this.
yes skin tuberculosis is curable
