I'm a bit worried because I used tea tree oil on my skin before bed last night and now I've got these dark patches that haven't gone away for more than 12 hours. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing this reaction?

Can I use desonide cream to help with my skin tone? Is it safe for someone like me with dark, oily skin and acne marks?

Desonide cream is a topical corticosteroid primarily used to treat skin inflammation and allergies; while it may temporarily lighten skin tone due to its anti-inflammatory effects, using it for fairness is not recommended, as prolonged use can lead to skin thinning, acne, and other adverse effects, especially on oily and acne-prone skin.

I'm worried about a burn scar I've had for about a month. There was a fire accident at my house, and I ended up with a superficial burn. It seems like only the first layer of my skin was affected. Is there anything specific I should do to help it heal better or reduce scarring?
