I live abroad in Saudi Arabia and recently purchased Pigmanorm cream, which contains hydroquinone, for my melasma and dyspigmentation. After using it for 3 days, the area where I applied it turned really red. I'm quite worried about this reaction, even though I'm also using Eveline sunscreen SPF 50 in the afternoons. Should I stop using the cream, or should I continue? And will the redness on my skin go away on its own? I'm also sharing a picture of my face and the cream I used to help you understand better. Can you guide me on what to do next?

I've just received my biopsy results, and it's mentioned that there's a hypocellular spindle lesion in a myxocollagenous stroma with a lot of blood vessels and hemosiderin pigment. The report also notes a low-grade spindle cell neoplasm and mentions something about an angiofibroma. I'm trying to wrap my head around this; should I be concerned about these findings? Would you recommend any specific follow-up or treatment based on these results?

I have a lot of moles on my neck and throat, and they don't look great. Is there any way to remove them without surgery? I'm a bit worried about how they look and want to explore other options first.

Yes, it's possible to remove moles without surgery, but it's crucial to have them evaluated by a doctor first to rule out any potential concerns, especially if you're worried about their appearance or a possible link to skin cancer. Several non-surgical methods can be used, such as laser removal, cryotherapy (freezing), electrocautery (burning), and chemical peels.
