I'm really worried because I accidentally spilled boiling milk on my right palm and fingers. Ive been in so much pain despite keeping it in cold water for 30 minutes. I even used some silverex silver nitrate gel, but the burning just isn't going away. There aren't any blisters or peeling skin, but it seems to be swollen. Can you help me figure out what to do next?

View allI had jock itch and now it's left a scar on my skin. I'm really concerned about how to get rid of this scar. Can you help me with some advice or treatment options?
To remove the scars left from jock itch, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, which helps lighten dark spots on the skin. You can apply a cream like Mederma or Bio-Oil twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, using a silicone gel sheet like ScarAway can also help reduce the appearance of scars. Make sure to follow the instructions on the product packaging for best results.

I'm dealing with pimples and my dermatologist prescribed Retino A. But I also have pimple marks and these little bumps. Is it okay to use Retino A on those too?

I've been using kojic acid cream that my doctor recommended, and it worked well for my skin. Now I'm dealing with some pimple marks on my face. I'm thinking about trying melaglow. Is it okay to switch to melaglow, or should I stick with what I was using?
Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.
