I'm 18 and I've got these dark patches on both sides of my nose, kind of like a permanent tan. I used to spend a lot of time in the sun, and it's been about three years with these patches. I've tried everything from doctor-prescribed creams to a chemical peel, and I always use sunscreen, but nothing seems to really help. The only thing that lightened them up was this Lomela cream with hydroquinone, but when I stopped using it, the patches just got darker. I'm worried and frustrated are there any creams or treatments that could help get rid of these dark patches for good?

I've been on Sotret 20 mg for a month now, and I've just been diagnosed with thyroid issues. Do you think it's okay if I take Sotret at night and Thyronorm in the morning? I'm a bit worried about how these medications might interact.

There is no interaction between those two drugs,you continue them as your doctor advised.

I'm looking for some advice on dealing with keloids. I've already tried the injections, but I haven't seen the results I was hoping for. Are there any scar removal creams that might help lighten the color of keloids? I'd really like to know if there's something that could work for me.
