I accidentally spilled some hot oil on my fingers yesterday while cooking, and it's on my left hand. What would be a good way to treat it? I'm a bit worried about how to properly take care of it.

I'm really worried about these freckles on my nose and cheeks. It seems like they're spreading now. I've had them since I was about 12 or 13, but I didn't think much of it back then. Now I'm just hoping to have clear skin. Can you help with what I should do?
