I have a black mole on my face and I really want to get rid of it but I'm scared of surgery. Are there any other treatments that can remove it safely? What options do I have?

Mole removal can be done with laser, radiofrequency, or excision. Laser is less invasive but may need multiple sessions. A dermatologist can guide based on mole type.

I've been dealing with pigmentation on both sides of my face and it's quite noticeable, especially since my job involves a lot of public interaction. I've been using Pineglow cream at night and Sun Cross Ultra cream during the day, but Im really concerned about how long it might take to see any improvement. Could you let me know if I'm on the right track or suggest anything else that might help? The pigmentation makes me pretty self-conscious.

I'm currently taking isotretinoin capsules, 20 mg per day, and was wondering if it's safe to use benzoyl peroxide on my skin at the same time. I've heard about potential issues or reactions but I'm not really sure. Could this combination cause any problems, and should I be worried about any side effects?

yes
