I've had a dark line across my nose for more than 5 years now. I've tried several skin brightening creams suggested by dermatologists, but nothing seems to work. It's really frustrating. Can you offer any other advice or treatments that might help?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a condition called melasma, which causes dark patches on the skin. In addition to skin brightening creams, you can also consider using a combination of hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid cream. One option is to use a cream containing 4% hydroquinone, 0.05% tretinoin, and 0.01% fluocinolone acetonide. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected area once daily in the evening. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.

I've been dealing with this issue where about a year ago, I noticed two small dark red blisters on the glans of my penis. They weren't painful and I barely noticed them at first, but now it's turned into something like a small wound that's slightly itchy and red. Ive tried a few things, but nothing seems to help. I'm really worried about why it hasn't healed yet, so could you help me figure out whats going on?
