I'm trying to figure out which Vitamin C would be best for me to use on my melasma. I want something that can be applied topically or taken orally before using sunscreen. I've heard it might help protect against sun damage, but I'm a bit lost on which kind might work best. Can you offer some advice?

View allI've had this cyst on my left cheek for about a month now and I can't seem to squeeze it out. It's really bothering me and I'm worried about it getting worse. What kind of surgery would be best to remove it properly? Will there be any scarring?
For proper cyst removal, surgical excision is generally the most effective and recommended approach. This involves removing the entire cyst, including its wall, which can help prevent recurrence. While some scarring is likely, modern techniques and proper aftercare can help minimize its appearance.

I'm dealing with these mouth ulcers every two weeks and it's pretty painful, especially when I'm eating or talking. I'm really curious about what could help with the pain and maybe even prevent them from coming back. What should I do?
Mouth ulcers can be quite uncomfortable. To help relieve the pain and promote healing, you can use a topical oral gel containing Choline Salicylate and Cetalkonium Chloride. Apply the gel directly on the ulcer 3-4 times a day after meals and at bedtime. Additionally, you can take a Vitamin B complex supplement to aid in the healing process. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the ulcers.

I've been taking Allegra 180 for three days and stopped it, but now, around a month later, I've noticed lots of tiny dots in my mouth and they're kind of burning. Could this be a side effect from the Allegra?
The symptoms you are experiencing in your mouth may be due to a condition called oral thrush, which can sometimes occur as a side effect of taking Allegra. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Nystatin oral suspension. You can swish the medication in your mouth for about 30 seconds before swallowing. The usual dosage is 4-6 mL four times a day. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene practices such as regular brushing and flossing can also help alleviate the symptoms.
