I'm currently seeing a dermatologist near my home for dandruff issues and she has good reviews. She's a female doctor. I also need advice on anal tags after my laser piles surgery and want to get an STD checkup. Can she handle these issues too or should I see another specialist?

A dermatologist can address skin tags and offer STD testing, but a proctologist may be better for post-surgical anal concerns.

I've been dealing with some skin issues after using cosmolite cream on my face for about 45 days. My skin turned black and has become super sensitive since then. I've tried different medicines, but nothing seems to be helping. I went to see a dermatologist, and she suggested I go through 8 sittings to lighten my skin back to its original color. I'm really anxious if this treatment would be suitable for my skin, and I'd like to know if there are any possible side effects involved. Could you provide some guidance on this?
