I'm really worried because I used Skin Brite cream on half of my face where I had a pimple, and now that part has turned much whiter than the rest. It's really noticeable and looks quite cheap, especially when I'm out in the daylight. Can you please advise on what I should do?

you can gently apply the cream all over the face for a period advised by your doctor,no need to worry the skin tone would become even with time.

I'm noticing a dark black spot on the left side of my stomach, and my parents mentioned it might be lassun. I'm quite curious and a bit worried about this. Can you let me know how to treat it or what it might indicate?

Based on the description of a dark black spot on your stomach, it is possible that it could be a mole or a skin lesion. However, without a proper examination, it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. I recommend you to consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.

I'm 26 years old and I've been dealing with Alopecia Areata. My dad's bald and I'm starting to see the bald areas emerging too, especially on the crown of my head. My hair seems to be falling out in a pattern more and more these days. Is there anything that could help me avoid going completely bald, at least for the next five years?

I recommend you start using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take Finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. These medications can help slow down the progression of balding and maintain your hair for at least 5 years.

I want to remove a facial mole but every doctor says there will be a scar the same size as the mole whether it's laser or surgery I really don't want a big scar on my face what are my options here's a pic of the mole

Kindly meet a Dermatologist to assess if there are other moles elsewhere in your skin.The other thing to remember is you may reconsider removal if you have given anyone of these moles as identify proof somewhere like on a passport or driving license. You can still get it removed but then you need to carry the medical certificate stating the details of the procedure. Laser and excision are two options with their independent merit and demerits. There will be any scar but a stitch line that will faint away with time and some treatment.
