I'm feeling really awkward about my dark feet and knuckles, especially when I'm wearing different types of footwear. Do you have any suggestions for creams or treatments that might help lighten these areas? I'm curious about what might work best and would love some advice.

View allI'm really worried because I've been using clove oil on my gums for about 23 days now since they seemed to be receding, but I've noticed my lips are turning dark and the corners of my mouth are even darker. When I tried rubbing the skin there, it actually peeled off like a burn would. I've put some curd on it for a cooling effect, hoping it would help, but I don't know what else I should do. Can you suggest any quick remedies to fix this?
The fluid leakage from your anus, accompanied by initial pain and subsequent discharge without pain, can be caused by several factors. Here are some possible explanations: *Possible Causes* 1. *Anal fistula*: A small tunnel or tube that connects the inside of the anus to the skin around it, causing fluid discharge. 2. *Anal abscess*: A collection of pus in the tissue around the anus, which can drain and cause fluid leakage. 3. *Proctitis*: Inflammation of the rectum, which can cause fluid discharge. 4. *Gastrointestinal infection*: Infections like giardiasis or amoebiasis can cause fluid leakage from the anus. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms. 2. *Physical examination*: Your doctor will perform a physical examination, including a digital rectal examination, to check for any abnormalities. 3. *Diagnostic tests*: Your doctor may recommend tests like: - Stool tests to check for infections - Imaging studies (e.g., CT scan, MRI) to visualize the anus and rectum - Anoscopy or sigmoidoscopy to examine the inside of the anus and rectum 4. *Treatment*: Based on the diagnosis, your doctor will recommend treatment, which may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or surgical intervention. *When to Seek Immediate Attention* 1. *Severe pain*: If you experience severe pain or discomfort in the anal or rectal area. 2. *Fever*: If you have a fever above 101.5F (38.6C). 3. *Blood in stool*: If you notice blood in your stool or black tarry stools. 4. *Difficulty controlling bowel movements*: If you experience involuntary bowel movements or difficulty controlling stool.

My lips are getting darker every day and I don't know why. I don't smoke or use caffeine, and I avoid putting any local products on my lips. Every time I see a dermatologist, they don't even check my lips and just say laser surgery is the only option. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
Dark lips can be caused by various factors beyond local products, including sun exposure, dehydration, and even underlying medical conditions. While laser surgery might be an option, it's crucial to explore other possibilities and consider your own risk tolerance

I'm thinking about stopping my use of Melacare. Can you suggest another cream that can help change my skin tone and make it look fairer? I'm a bit concerned about finding the right alternative.
If someone stops using Melacare cream, they can consider using a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone furoate. One such cream is called "Skinlite Cream." It should be used once daily at night for a limited duration under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
