I'm really worried about my mom. She's dealing with this skin disease called sappi in Telugu, and it's affecting the right side of her face. It looks like it's covered in water bubbles and that side is swollen. What could this be and how should we go about treating it?

Is it really possible to remove a tan? What are the best ways to get rid of it? Also, which type of doctor should I consult to help me completely remove a tan?

Yes, tan removal is possible. Some ways to remove tan include using sunscreen, exfoliating regularly, using skin-lightening creams containing ingredients like hydroquinone or kojic acid, and undergoing chemical peels or laser treatments. A dermatologist can help you in removing tan completely by recommending appropriate treatments such as prescription-strength skin-lightening creams or procedures like chemical peels or laser therapy.

I've been having this weird sensation where it feels like ants are biting me all over my body, especially when I start working out or if I'm standing in the sunlight. My skin starts releasing this white, hair-thin substance from the pores, turns reddish, and it's almost unbearable for me to be in the sun or exercise in the winter. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
