I'm really worried about my sister's skin. She's got a naturally dusky tone, but her job in sales means she's out in the field a lot, and it's made her skin even darker. I think it's because of increased melanin from all that sun exposure. Can you recommend any remedies to reduce the tanning and help get her skin back to its original color?

I'm really getting worried because I have these corns on my left leg that just aren't healing, even after more than a month. Can you suggest any medicine that might help?

For corns, you can try using Salicylic Acid topical solution. Apply it directly on the corns once daily for about a week. You can also use a corn plaster containing Salicylic Acid for better results. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for proper usage.

I've got some hyperpigmentation going on around my eyes and mouth, and I remember my doctor once recommended aziderm 10 for acne spots. So here's my question: Can I use aziderm for these dark circles under my eyes? Is it even safe to use in that area? Any tips on how and when I should apply it would be great!
