I'm African American and I've noticed my skin used to be much lighter, but over the past six years, it's gotten so dark that I can barely see myself at night. I spend most of my time indoors and rarely go out. I've tried skin bleaching products before, and they worked, but once I stop using them, my skin becomes darker again. Do you have any suggestions for lotions or treatments I could try to help with this?

View allI just got my blood test results and saw that my absolute eosinophil count is 700 cumm. Do you think this means I have an allergy? Could you let me know what I should do about it?
An absolute eosinophil count of 700 cumm may indicate an allergic reaction or an infection. To help reduce your symptoms, you can take Tablet Loratadine 10mg once daily for allergy relief. Additionally, you can use an over-the-counter nasal spray like Fluticasone propionate 50mcgspray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily for nasal congestion. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed a dark red line and a spot on my nose over the past few days, and it's just getting darker. Honestly, it's starting to look pretty bad. Could you give me some advice on how to get rid of it?
This could be a sign of a skin condition or infection. I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Neosporin on the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can apply a small amount of hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at it. If the condition does not improve or worsens, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with a bindi allergy for the last 5 years and I've tried so many ointments but nothing seems to work. Any ideas on what else I can do or try? It's been really frustrating, so I'm hoping for some advice.
