Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

View allA black spot just appeared near the corner of my eye, on the side of my nose, and it's about the size of a big drop. I only noticed it when I woke up this morning. It's not itchy, and it doesn't feel like dry skin. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What might be causing this, and what tests should I consider getting done?
The sudden appearance of a non-itchy, non-dry black spot under the eye, near the nose, could be due to various causes such as a benign skin lesion (melanocytic nevus), allergic reaction, or vascular-related issues (hematoma or vascular malformation); consult a dermatologist

Hey, can you tell me how long I should be using Kojivit Ultra Gel? Is this something I'm supposed to use for my whole life, or is it just for a certain period? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate some guidance on this.
Kojivit Ultra gel is typically used for a duration of 2-4 months to see visible results in skin lightening and pigmentation reduction. However, it is not meant for lifelong use. It is recommended to use it as per the guidance of your dermatologist and then take a break from the treatment to assess the results. If needed, your doctor may suggest a maintenance regimen or alternative treatments for long-term management.

I've had these stitch marks on my hand for about three years now, and it's starting to bother me because everyone notices them and asks about it. Is there a way to get rid of them?
Stitch marks can be treated with the help of topical creams containing silicone gel, such as Mederma. You can apply a thin layer of Mederma on the stitch marks twice a day for several months to see improvement. Additionally, you can also consider laser therapy or microdermabrasion treatments to further reduce the appearance of the scar.
