I'm experiencing this weird sensation where my skin feels sticky right after a hot shower. I don't see any changes or difference in how my skin looks, but it just feels, well, sticky. Any idea what might be going on?

I had a bandaid on my finger for a couple of days because of a cut, which seemed to have healed. When I took the bandaid off today though, my finger looked kinda weird. What could be going on? Should I be worried or do something about it?

it's likely that the skin under the band-aid has experienced skin irritation or contact dermatitis, possibly due to adhesive or friction; apply a topical antibiotic ointment and cover with a breathable dressing to promote healing, and consider switching to hypoallergenic band-aids or alternative wound dressings in the future.

I've noticed that my arms are darker compared to the rest of my body, which has been bothering me. I've tried using body lotions, homemade scrubs, and cucumber juice masks, but they only seem to work temporarily. I'm looking for something effective to help even out my skin tone. Plus, I have sensitive and slightly dry skin. Any advice on what could work for me?

To help even out your skin tone and address sensitivity and dryness, I recommend using a skin-lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. You can try using "Meladerm" cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, incorporating a moisturizer like "Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream" can help hydrate your skin and improve its overall texture. Remember to apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from further darkening.

I've been having some real discomfort down there. I rubbed the area around my anus because it was irritated, and now its burning even more, and I'm noticing more skin getting affected. I tried soaking in warm water with potassium permanganate, but the burning persists. What can I do to make it better?
