I'm noticing some darkening on my face and I'm kind of worried it might be related to my cholesterol levels. Could it possibly have something to do with LDL or HDL? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Skin darkening on the face is not typically a direct result of cholesterol levels such as LDL or HDL. However, certain medical conditions like diabetes or hormonal imbalances can cause skin darkening. To address the issue, you can use a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin.

I've got some extra skin on my face, kind of like warts, and I tried using a mix of limechuna and washing powder on it. Now my face feels burned and I've got these marks left behind. Can you suggest any solutions to help get rid of these burn marks? I'm really worried about how my face looks.

I've noticed three dark moles suddenly showing up on my foreskin over the last couple of days. They're about 6mm, 5mm, and 4mm in size and are really close to each other. They don't itch or hurt, and I haven't had any other issues with them. But, I've been dealing with a UTI for a few months now. Should I be worried about these moles? Could they be a sign of some kind of skin cancer? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.
