I'm a brown-skinned girl and my dermatologist suggested I use KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM for the pigmentation around my mouth. I noticed it has 2% Hydroquinone, and I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe. Could it possibly make my pigmentation worse or darker? Can you help me understand if it's okay to use this cream?

KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM contains 2% HYDROQUINONE which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. It is generally safe to use for treating pigmentation issues when used as directed by a healthcare professional. However, prolonged and excessive use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin darkening, redness, or irritation. To ensure safe use of KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM, it is important to follow your dermatologist's instructions regarding the frequency and duration of application. It is also recommended to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further pigmentation. If you experience any severe side effects or worsening of pigmentation, please consult your dermatologist for further guidance.

I'm starting to get really worried about these skin issues I've been having. My skin's been super itchy, and I'm dealing with these reddish, swollen patches on my hands and feet. It's got this burning sensation, plus the redness has spread to my palms, making it hard and painful to even close my hands. I was given an injection and have been taking Allegra 180, Atarax 10mg, and Zincovit, along with using Lactamine Lotion, but nothing's really helping. Can you suggest any blood tests I should get to figure out what's going on?

I've been struggling with these ugly dark spots on my legs for over a decade now. They're from allergic reactions to insect bites and I've also had a habit of picking at the swellings. I'm really frustrated and am wondering if Mederma might be the solution. I've heard about glycolic peeling too, but lasers are just way out of my budget. What do you think I should do?
That could be keratosis pilaris ,maintain personal hygiene,apply moisturizer twice a day,it takes time to hela but will be cured no need to worry.
