I'm struggling with a serious sun tan that's really been a nightmare for me. My skin darkens very quickly whenever I'm out in the sun, and its gotten to the point where there are obvious lines between the areas that are sun-exposed and those that arent. Could you suggest a remedy for this? Also, how can I reverse the tanning effect and basically detan my skin?

I'm curious about the cost of getting a Q-switch laser treatment for naturally dark lips due to genetics. Also, how long do the effects typically last after the procedure?

Depending on the extent of treatment required, it costs between 7k - 15k INR. The number of sessions required varies from patient to patient. The effects generally last a few years, but maintenance sessions may be required to sustain the results.

I'm dealing with a really nasty case of ringworm that's spread all over my body, and I've been on medication like itraconazole, terbinafine, griseofulvin, and fluconazole for the past 6 months. I'm getting desperate here, what else can I do to finally get rid of this?

I've been dealing with butt acne and it's really bothering me. I'm thinking about using Neutrogena acne wash and Mederma for the scars it left. Do you think these would work? Or is there something else you recommend? I'm really looking for some advice on how to clear this up.

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
