I'm trying to figure out the best time to use benzoyl peroxide gel 2.5. Like, should I put it on in the morning or at night? I've heard different things, and I'm honestly not sure what would be most effective. Does it matter when I apply it, or can I use it whenever?

I'm 24 and have small xanthelasma under both eyes should I get them removed by a dermatologist or an ophthalmologist? Will they come back after surgery, and is there a risk of scarring?

Xanthelasma can be removed by dermatologist using laser or cautery; ophthalmologist is needed only if it's near eyelid margin‚Äîrecurrence and mild scarring are possible.

I've had these two small pimple-like bumps on the side of my cheek for a few months now. At first, I thought it was just acne, but theyre not going away. Do you think it could be a cyst or something else?

not a cyst

I recently had a mole removed using a blade, and they stopped the bleeding with heat. Now I've noticed there's a small crater where the mole was. I'm keeping it clean with soap and water, applying the ointment my doctor recommended, and covering it with a bandage. I'm just a bit worried thoughwill this crater eventually fill in as everything heals?

Yes that will heal no problem,follow your doctors advice
