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?

I've been using Doxycycline 100mg, deriva bpo gel, and saslic ds face wash as part of my skincare routine for about 15 days now, just like my dermatologist suggested, and they want me to continue for another 15 days. But I've noticed my face is getting darker, especially around the eyes, which I think could be hyperpigmentation from the deriva bpo. Even though my doctor saw the pictures and thinks I should keep going, I'm really worried about this change. What should I do?

I've been using this bleaching cream called Oxy every month, and it gives me a fair look for just two days, then my skin goes back to normal. But now, after using bleach so much, my skin is starting to get darker, and I feel like I have to use bleach to make it better, which just seems to make it permanently darker. I'm really worried and curious if bleach cream is actually safe to use. Does it actually help? And since my skin's getting darker from it, what can I do to avoid this or make it better? Any advice on creams or tablets would be really appreciated.

I'm really worried because since last night the glans of my penis has become swollen, and now the foreskin can't cover it. It's like the swollen part is sticking out past the foreskin. The sensitivity is intense and it's painful whenever I touch it. How long should I expect this swelling to last?
