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.

He's tried using OTC creams like Monosol GM, but they just keep coming back and are starting to spread to nearby areas. It's super itchy and the red rashes are not going away. Im not sure what to do next, do you have any suggestions?

My lips have gotten thicker from biting them over the years. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments? I'm worried about side effects or if the results might turn out worse, especially since it's getting more noticeable as I age and doesn't look great. What are my options?
While lip reduction surgery is the most definitive solution for thickening caused by lip biting, other treatments can help reduce the appearance and address the biting habit. These include non-surgical options like makeup, facial exercises, and staying hydrated, as well as treatments to stop lip biting itself.

My wife's been having this pain in her left hand veins, and her thumbs have been itching for the past three days. I initially thought it might just go away on its own, but the pain hasn't improved. She did plant a tree three days ago, so I'm wondering if it could be an infection from the soil or something related to the plant. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?
, based upon the clinical symptoms there might be development of phlebitis, i.e inflammation of the veins due to some thorn prick. Apply warm compresses. If symptoms aggravates kindly consult ur surgeon...
