I'm studying airport management, and I've been feeling like my skin color is affecting my confidence. Is there a way to lighten my skin quickly? Also, I'm struggling with darkness under my eyes. What can I do about that?

To lighten your skin and reduce under eye darkness, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone for skin lightening. Additionally, for under eye darkness, you can use a cream containing retinol or vitamin C to help brighten the under eye area. Make sure to apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from further darkening. Also, getting enough sleep and staying hydrated can help improve the appearance of your skin.

I've been dealing with this scabies issue for almost 45 months now. I used permethrin and lindane lotion, and that helped a lot, but I'm frustrated because I still have these nodular bumps and persistent itching, especially in my armpits and genitals. I've tried corticosteroid ointments and even oral antiallergics, but nothing seems to fully clear it up. What else can I do to get rid of them and the itching once and for all? I'm pretty concerned about why this is just not going away.

That means there are active mites still present visit dermatologist for complete course of the treatment and councelling regarding preventive measures.

I'm noticing these flat red spots on my hands, arms, and feet for the past month. They don't itch or hurt, but I'm a bit worried about what they could be. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

These red spots could be a sign of a condition called petechiae, which are small, flat red spots that appear on the skin due to bleeding under the skin. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can take Vitamin C supplements to help strengthen your blood vessels.
