I'm really struggling with ingrown hairs every time I shave or use any hair removal method. It's so tough trying to get rid of them, and on top of that, I've got these strawberry legs. Even after waxing, my pores still show up, and it's been like this for years. I'm super embarrassed about how my legs look. I live in Bangalore and would really appreciate any advice you have. What can I do to improve this situation?

I've had this splinter stuck in my finger for around 5 months now, and no matter how hard I try, I can't find it or get it out. Now there's this hard bump that's super sensitive and sometimes painful when I press on it. There's this one spot that's particularly tender, right where the splinter originally was. I've cut away dead skin and tried to find it so many times, but this bump just keeps coming back after about a week. What should I do about this?

Kozicare cream is advised.Side-effects include itching and hypersensitivity reactions

I've been dealing with these dark spots on my face for quite a while now and despite trying different products, nothing seems to work. Could you please recommend a medicine that might help in getting rid of them?

Dark spots on the face can be treated with topical creams containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. You can apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the dark spots once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day can help prevent further darkening of the spots. Remember to consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.
