I'm really worried about my skin getting tanner every day. I have naturally tan skin and I'm wondering how I can reduce the melanin to achieve a fairer complexion. Is there anything I can do or any treatments that might help with this?

I'm wondering if it's okay to apply Xerina cream to my armpits to help with the rough skin and dark patches there. My doctor originally prescribed it for my elbows, but can it also be used on areas with inflammation? I'm just curious if it would be safe and effective.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm really stressed about my upcoming wedding because of my skin tone. I've tried various treatments from skin doctors, but nothing seems to work permanently. Is there a treatment out there that can help with permanent skin whitening? I'm feeling quite overwhelmed and would appreciate any advice.

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

Ive been dealing with this really annoying itching on my wrist. Then, after a day, it swelled up a bit. I tried using some turmeric powder and it seemed to help, but the next day the itchiness and the swelling came back, this time on the back of my hand, and the swelling was way worse. It kept getting bigger for about three days. I put some more turmeric paste on it, and now the swellings gone down on my hand but has moved to my fingers. The itchiness is still there, and the swelling is bad and hurts a bit. Could this be from an insect bite? What do you think I should do?
