I'm really worried because I accidentally cut my left hand with a blade, and now I'm left with scars. I'm super stressed about it and unsure what to do next. Can you suggest what type of doctor I should see to help remove the scars for good? Any advice on dealing with this situation would be really helpful.

I've got this black mark on my skin from an oil splash that turned red, and even though I used boroline, the mark's still there. What ointment should I use to help fade it away?

A splash of oil can sometimes cause skin irritation and lead to discoloration. To help fade the black mark left by the oil, you can apply a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the affected area once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.
