I'm noticing my skin is getting darker every day, and now there's this small white patch at the corner of my eye. I'm a college student, and I'm in the sun for around 3-4 hours daily, so I think that's why my skin's darkening. Plus, I've got dark circles around my eyes and dark patches near my mouth. My T-zone seems darker too. Can you tell me what's happening and what I should do about it?

I have an abscess that's not coming to a head and keeps getting bigger each day. I'm on antibiotics but it's still itchy, hard around the edges, and soft and swollen in the middle. Will the antibiotics be enough to treat this or will I need surgery?

I tried using Salactin paint on my ankle to get rid of some hard skin, but after just a day, the skin turned black and red. It looks like it might be burnt. What should I do to treat this and help it heal?

Salactin paint contains salicylic acid, which can help soften and remove hard skin. However, it can also cause irritation, especially if used incorrectly or on sensitive skin. The black and red discoloration you've described suggests a chemical burn or severe irritation. To promote healing and reduce discomfort, follow these steps: Immediate Care 1. Stop using Salactin paint: Discontinue use immediately to prevent further irritation. 2. Wash the area: Gently wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove any remaining salicylic acid. 3. Apply a topical cream: Use a topical cream or gel containing aloe vera, hydrocortisone (1%), or calamine to help soothe and calm the skin.
