I got into a road accident a couple of months back and ended up with some pretty bad wounds on my hands and elbows. They've healed now, but I'm left with these dark scars. Do you know of any ointment that can help get rid of these scars?

View allI've been dealing with really dark and pigmented knees, and it's super embarrassing. I've tried using brightening creams and even a bunch of home remedies, but nothing seems to work. Could you recommend any medication or treatment that might help?
Dark and pigmented knees can be a cosmetic concern. Here are some suggestions: *Topical Treatments* 1. *Hydroquinone cream*: A common treatment for hyperpigmentation. However, use it under a dermatologist's guidance. 2. *Kojic acid cream*: Helps reduce melanin production and hyperpigmentation. 3. *Retinoid cream*: Derivatives of vitamin A that can help reduce hyperpigmentation. *Home Remedies* 1. *Lemon juice and honey*: Mix equal parts lemon juice and honey, apply to knees, and rinse after 20 minutes. 2. *Cucumber and turmeric*: Grate cucumber, mix with turmeric powder, and apply to knees. 3. *Coconut oil and sugar*: Mix coconut oil and sugar, gently scrub knees, and rinse.

I've been dealing with telogen effluvium after recently having a fever, and I'm really worried about how long this might last. Can you give me an idea about the typical duration for this to go away? I'm just feeling a bit anxious about it.
Telogen effluvium after fever typically lasts for about 6 months. During this time, it is important to ensure you are getting adequate nutrition and managing stress levels to support hair regrowth. You can consider using minoxidil solution 2% to promote hair growth.

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?
