I'm Karthick and I'm 18 years old. I've got medium brown skin and I'm interested in making my skin lighter. Can you tell me what the best way to do that is? Should I go for glutathione injections, take pills, or use a gel?

I'm noticing these two long, red, thick lines forming on my stomach and one on my left upper arm. They're getting more pronounced and resemble a scar, almost like someone cut me with a knife. I'm really puzzled because they don't look like stretch marks to me. Can you help me figure out what kind of skin issue this might be?

I'm 28 and have always struggled with oily skin, and that means dealing with pimples and their marks constantly. A few months back, I tried retino a with eukroma cream in a chickpea-sized amount, and after 3 months, my skin was looking great. But I stopped using eukroma and now all the pimples and marks are back. Should I start using eukroma again or is there a different approach I should consider? Any thoughts on what I can do to get rid of these spots once and for all?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm wondering if Mederma could actually help with some scars and old burn marks I've got on my thighs. They've been there a while, and I've just got these persistent spots that won't seem to go away. Do you think this cream would work for something like that?

Yes.
