I'm noticing a dark black spot on the left side of my stomach, and my parents mentioned it might be lassun. I'm quite curious and a bit worried about this. Can you let me know how to treat it or what it might indicate?

Based on the description of a dark black spot on your stomach, it is possible that it could be a mole or a skin lesion. However, without a proper examination, it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. I recommend you to consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.

I've been dealing with this pimple on my face and decided to try betamethasone ointment on it. After I washed my face, I noticed that the area where I applied it looked lighter. I'm not sure if that's a good sign or if I should be concerned. Could this be a side effect or does it mean the ointment is working?

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