I've never had bruises like this from a blood draw before, and it's been 4 days now. They started out black and have turned dark brown, with a lot of pain and tenderness, and it seems to be getting worse. I'm even more concerned because I'm 7 weeks pregnant. Should I be worried about these huge bruises and the pain? Is this normal or should I get it checked out?

Miracle plus cream for local application, for atleast 4-6 weeks is advised.

I've been noticing some really deep holes all over my cheeks, and my face seems to be getting darker every day. It's starting to stress me out. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing severe acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. For the deep holes on your cheeks, you may benefit from using a topical retinoid like Retin-A (tretinoin) cream at night to help improve skin texture and promote collagen production. Additionally, for the hyperpigmentation, you can consider using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite (hydroquinone 4%), to help even out your skin tone. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further damage.

Im really hoping to lighten my skin by about three shades permanently. Is that even possible? And do chemical peels actually help with skin whitening? If so, which one should I consider?

Chemical peels can help in skin whitening by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin. One of the best chemical peels for skin whitening is the Glycolic Acid peel. It is effective in reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone. The recommended dosage for Glycolic Acid peel is usually 20-70%, depending on your skin type and the severity of pigmentation. It is important to consult with a dermatologist before undergoing any chemical peel treatment to determine the most suitable option for your skin."
