I'm really worried about some stitches I recently had removed from my face after an accident. The marks left behind by the stitches have been bothering me, and I just want to know if there's a way to get rid of those marks so my skin looks like it did before. Also, I'm trying to grow a beard, but I'm not sure if it'll grow over the area where the stitches were. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

Hey, so I noticed this red spot on my foreskin a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't itchy at first, but now it seems like it's spread around my penis and it's started itching. I'm really worried it might be an STD or something. Any idea what this could be?

I've been using Melacare for a long time, but then I started traveling a lot for work between Pune and Mumbai, and my skin is now completely sunburned and darker. I used to be fair, but now my skin is almost black, and it's a lot. Can I start using Melacare again? Will that help me get my skin back to how it was before? I'm really worried about showing my face to anyone right now and could really use your advice.
