View allI had this accident about two and a half months ago, and now that the scab's gone, I'm left with this white patch of skin where the injury was more severe. I'm wondering if this will heal naturally. Also, this whitish skin has some red marks in places, and in some areas, the skin is raised. Should I be worried or is this part of the healing process?
Yes thats normal and will heal with time no need to worry

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed these white patches on the skin around my scrotum, penis, and thigh. It's been about 1.5 years since I first saw them, and luckily they haven't grown in size, but the area feels slightly numb. Do you think I should be worried, and what might be causing this?
Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Is it alright to keep using mometasone furoate cream on my eyelids and above my lips? I've been on this medication for about a year and it works great, but I came across some articles that say maybe it shouldn't be used on those areas. Should I be worried or stop using it there?
Mometasone furoate cream is a potent topical corticosteroid. While it can be effective, using it on sensitive areas like eyelids and above the lips for an extended period (1 year) may pose risks: *Risks on Eyelids:* 1. *Skin thinning*: Prolonged use can cause skin thinning, making eyelids more prone to injury. 2. *Glaucoma*: Long-term use around the eyes may increase the risk of glaucoma. 3. *Cataracts*: Prolonged use may also increase the risk of cataracts. *Risks Above the Lips:* 1. *Skin thinning*: Similar to eyelids, skin thinning can occur, making the area more sensitive. 2. *Perioral dermatitis*: Long-term use can lead to perioral dermatitis, a skin condition characterized by redness, bumps, and itching.
