I'm really worried because my skin has become much darker over the past few years, and I just want to get back to my natural skin tone. It's really surprising how dark my skin has become, and I'm wondering if theres any permanent treatment, medicine, or lotion that can help prevent sun tan and other causes of skin darkening. Do you have any advice or suggestions?

View allI'm facing a bit of a situation with a wound on my leg that's taking a while to heal, and I could really use some guidance. So my bike skidded about a month and a half ago and I ended up hitting my leg on the footpath. Most of the wound has healed, but there's this small part, about the size of a fingertip, thats still raw. It's been oozing this clear, watery liquidnot yellowwhich I think might be preventing it from healing completely. I saw Dr. Prashanth BN at Vijayshree hospital and have been keeping up with regular dressing and using Augmentin D as an antibiotic and Betadine as an ointment, even tried turmeric powder on it. Pain's gone down, but I'm out of town now and wondering what else I can do to get it to heal fully. Any advice on how to stop this liquid and get the wound completely healed?

I'm really concerned about this redness I'm experiencing around my thigh joint. I've been using propysalic NF ointment for itching and to get rid of some scars, but now my skin tone seems different. Should I continue using the same ointment or try something else? I'm just a bit worried about my skin changing and could use some guidance.
- It's important to consult with your doctor before applying Propysalic NF to the new area,
