I got bitten by a little leech a few weeks back and it bled for a short while, but then it stopped. Now I've got this small red bump there, and it's quite itchy. Any idea what I can do to fix this?

I'm a regular user of Pendram Plus, and it used to give me a really fair skin tone, but lately, it just seems to provide a more average fair look. I'm curious and a bit concerned about how I can maintain the level of fairness I got before. Any advice on this?

I've got these 4 tils on my left cheek and I'm really wondering if there's any way to get rid of them. I haven't tried any treatments or medicines yet. What do you suggest I should do? Is there a specific approach or medication that works best for something like this?

Facial moles, also known as til, can be treated with topical medications containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such medication is Melalite Cream, which contains hydroquinone. Apply a small amount of Melalite Cream on the til twice daily for several weeks. However, it is important to consult a dermatologist before starting any treatment to ensure proper diagnosis and management.
