I'm a bit confused and worried because my last period started on October 3rd and lasted for 5 days. I ended up having unprotected sex late on the 9th and then took an emergency contraception pill the following morning on the 10th. But then on the 15th, I started spotting and it turned into really heavy bleeding for a couple of days, plus I've been having this lower abdominal pain. I'm getting nervouscould I be pregnant despite taking the pill? And is there anything I could take to help with the bleeding? Id really appreciate your guidance on this.

I'm just over 7 weeks pregnant and noticed a little brown discharge on my panty liner today. I had an ultrasound last week and everything seemed fine, with a heartbeat of 140. It's my first pregnancy, and I don't have any medical history. Is this discharge normal, or should I be worried?

De-tanning can be challenging, but there are methods to help reduce tan appearance: Topical creams: Hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoid-based creams can help lighten skin tone. Chemical peels: Glycolic acid or lactic acid peels can exfoliate and brighten the skin. Microdermabrasion: A non-invasive exfoliating treatment to remove dead skin cells. Laser skin toning: Targets melanin to reduce tan appearance. Sun protection: Continue using high SPF sunscreen and protective clothing to prevent further tanning. Consult a dermatologist to determine the best approach for your skin type and tone.
