I'm really worried because my daughter accidentally spilled hot tea on her chest, and now she has about three spots, each around an inch, that got burned. After treatment, her chest is okay now, but the skin color where it burned is different from her normal skin. What can I do to help the color of the burned skin blend back in with her regular skin tone?

I've been having some issues since I tested positive for COVID on May 4th. At first, everything seemed fine, but about 2.5 weeks later, I noticed an allergy cropping up at the corners of my mouth. I tried using Sebamed lip balm during the day and Laneige lip sleeping mask at night, but the allergy spread to my upper and lower lips. Swelling and a burning sensation followed, and now there's even a rash on my face. I've also tried Vaseline, but no luck. What could this be, and how can I treat it? Would love some guidance!

Sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis. I recommend stopping the use of all lip products and petroleum jelly for now. You can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine to help with the itching and swelling. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream 1% on the affected areas of your lips and face twice a day for up to 7 days. Make sure to avoid any known allergens or irritants, and if the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've had this issue with fungal nails for years now. It started on my big toes, but it's beginning to spread to my other nails too. I'm getting married soon, and I'm really worried about how my nails will look. Can you recommend any medicine that could help with this?
