I'm really worried because I've been using a cream with hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone for nearly two years. When I stopped, my face turned really dark, almost black, and its been like this for the last 67 months. The rest of my body looks normal, so it's like my face doesn't match at all. I'm just wondering if this darkness will go away on its own if I leave it alone, or am I stuck like this? I'm seriously concerned about this and need some advice.

dont use that cream not face again , and start to use regular sun screen, face wash and moitiriser and you can consult dermatologist for a chemical peel and other Rx.

View allI'm having trouble finding Dipsalic F ointment at medical stores since they said it's not being made anymore. I've been using it for an allergic reaction, and nothing else I've tried is as effective. Can you suggest the best substitute for this ointment? I'm really concerned about finding something that works as well.
Since Dipsalic F ointment is unavailable, I'll suggest some alternatives with similar ingredients: *Alternatives with Salicylic Acid and Urea* 1. *Ursal 10% Ointment*: Contains urea (10%) and salicylic acid (3%). 2. *Keralyt 5% Gel*: Has salicylic acid (5%) and urea (10%). 3. *Salex 6% Cream*: Contains salicylic acid (6%) and might be suitable for allergic areas. *Other Options* 1. *CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser*: A gentle cleanser with salicylic acid (2%) and hyaluronic acid. 2. *Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream*: A rich moisturizer with urea (10%) and ceramides

I have a 3-month-old and she's developed these allergic rashes on her hand. I'm wondering if using fresh neem leaf paste is safe for her delicate skin. Could this be a good remedy?

I've noticed these tiny white spots on the inner part of my upper lip since April. They're not itchy or painful, but they're definitely there, and I don't exactly like how they look. I'm wondering if these could be Fordyce spots? If so, can you recommend any medicine or treatment for them?
The tiny white spots on your upper lip are likely Fordyce spots, benign ectopic sebaceous glands; while they are harmless and don't require treatment
