Small, red pinhead likenrashes which seem to be deeply embedded in skin. The rash cannot be felt by running our hand across it.

I'm sorry for asking, but I'm really worried. My baby girl seems much darker than me and my husband, and it's been bothering us. We both have fair skin, but she's five months old now, and her complexion seems to be getting darker. We've tried several oils, but nothing seems to work. Can you suggest anything to help improve her skin color?
Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I'm really concerned about this bruise on my face. A week ago, I fell and hit my cheekbone pretty hard. At first, it was just bruised there, but now the bruising has spread all around my eye, and my eyelids and part of my cheek are this purple-green color. The swelling has gone down quite a bit, but there's still some, and I have this lump on my cheekbone that just won't go away. Could it be a hematoma? What's the best way to take care of this bruise and lump?
Sorry to hear that! _Bruising and Swelling_ 1. _Normal progression_: Bruising can spread and change colors as it heals. 2. _Swelling reduction_: Significant reduction in swelling is a good sign. _Lump on Cheekbone_ 1. _Possible hematoma_: A collection of blood that can cause a lump. 2. _Other possibilities_: Fat necrosis, bone fracture, or soft tissue injury. _Care and Treatment_ 1. _Cold compresses_: Continue applying cold compresses to reduce swelling. 2. _Elevation_: Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling. 3. _Pain management_: Use over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. 4. _Monitor for infection_: Watch for signs of infection, such as increased redness, warmth, or pus. 5. _Follow-up appointment_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to assess the lump and bruising. _When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention_ 1. _Increased swelling or pain_ 2. _Vision changes or double vision_ 3. _Difficulty moving your eye or face_ 4. _Signs of infection_
