I was in an accident recently and ended up with 3 stitches just above my lips, right below my nose. The stitches are healing well, but I'm really concerned about the scar that's forming. Could you recommend an ointment or cream that would help with scar removal? I'm just a bit anxious about this and would love some advice.

You can use Mederma ointment for scar removal. Apply a thin layer of Mederma ointment on the scar area 3 times a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement in the appearance of the scar.

I've recently noticed some brown spots appearing in my underarms. At first, there were about 12, and they weren't causing any issues like itching or irritation. But now there are 34, and it's got me really concerned. My dad experienced something similar, and it ended up spreading throughout the entire underarm area.
