I had a chemical peel on my face recently from a dermatologist, and now I've developed lichen planus. Could the peeling be the reason for it? I haven't taken any medications or done anything else that might have triggered this. I'm pretty concerned. What could be going on here?

So I'm 19 and I'm Indian, but I'm noticing something odd with my beard. It's got a lot of brown hairs, especially on the chin, even though the hair on my head is black. Also, I'm dealing with rosacea, and my nose is really red because of it. I'm curious, why could my beard be turning brown?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I have a mole on my forehead that I've had since birth and I'm thinking about getting it removed. How much does the surgery usually cost and will there be a scar after? If it does leave a mark, how long until it fades? Are there any safe ways to remove it at home or is surgery the only option?

Mole removal costs ‚Çπ3,000‚Äì‚Çπ10,000; mild scar may remain and fade in months‚Äîhome removal isn‚Äôt safe.
