I'm really curious about whether melanin treatment for achieving fairer skin is actually safe. Could you tell me how long the process usually takes and what the cost might be? Also, have you ever carried out skin whitening treatments using melanin? I'm a bit worried and would love to know if I can undergo this treatment and what possible side effects there could be.

These is a vague terminology and makes no sense. Kindly do not fall into the hands of such therapists. I think no Dermatologist will recommend you something like this. Basically there are depigmentation treatment protocols which modify melanocytes functioning in an orchestrated manner that results in a healthier and better skin tone, This could be a chemical peel, rejuvenation skin lasers or mesotherapy and PRP therapy. Meet a qualified dermatologist in person near you to understand these in more details.

I've been dealing with this pimple on my areola for about a year now. It started off small, and I squeezed it once, which caused this white sticky stuff to come out. But this past week, it got bigger, turned red, and was filled with pus. It actually burst on its own today and got smaller, but it's still red. I'm on lung TB meds, and I'm also getting these little bumps like pimples on my forehead. I've had acne issues before. When I asked a gynaecologist, they mentioned it could be a breast abscess from the TB meds and suggested squeezing it more and taking Augmentin 625 duo for five days. Is this okay? Could taking Augmentin affect my TB treatment? Does this kind of reaction happen when someone is on TB meds? It's new to me, and I'm getting a bit worried.

Yes,continue same treatment.Tab augmentin duo 625mg thrice daily ,orally for 5 days. If symptoms persists surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.
