I'm currently breastfeeding my baby, who's 9 months old now. I'm curious if it's safe for me to use alpha arbutin and hyaluronic acid during this time. Could there be any effects on my baby or my milk supply? I'm just looking for a safe way to take care of my skin without any risks.

Clarification: Males do not breastfeed, so the question about a 27-year-old male breastfeeding is not applicable.
-
Alpha Arbutin:
- A skin-lightening agent used in topical skincare.
- Safe for topical use with minimal systemic absorption.
-
Hyaluronic Acid:
- A moisturizing agent in skincare.
- Safe for topical application.
-
Breastfeeding Concerns:
- No risk to milk supply or baby since males do not produce breast milk.

-
Recommendation:
- Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice if needed.

View allI've had these fat glands on my body since childhood and they keep increasing over time. They don't hurt but I really want to get rid of them. A doctor told me it's hereditary and harmless but I'm still bothered by them. Are there any medicines that can dissolve them or will I need surgery to remove them
Lipomas, which are benign fatty growths under the skin, are typically harmless and don't require treatment unless they cause discomfort or bother you cosmetically. While there are no medications to dissolve them, surgical removal is an option if you wish to get rid of them

I have a pyogenic granuloma on my scalp and I've attached a picture. Just wondering if it's harmful to leave it as it is or if it could be something serious like cancer. Also, are there any treatments I can try at home since I'm really nervous about surgery?
A pyogenic granuloma is a noncancerous growth of blood vessels on the skin, and it's generally harmless. While it's not a serious condition like cancer, it can be treated by a doctor, and leaving it unattended may lead to bleeding, ulceration, or cosmetic concerns. Home treatments are generally not recommended, and surgical removal is the most common treatment.

I'm worried because I got a burn near my ankle from a bike silencer about a week ago. It's not swollen or blistered, but the skin is dark red and it feels stretched. It doesn't hurt, but it feels dry and itchy sometimes. Now there's a mark where the burn was. I bought Sofinox cream thinking it might help with the burn mark, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to use. Could you suggest a better cream to help remove this mark?
Sofinox cream could potentially help lighten the burn mark
