I'm worried because I got a burn near my ankle from a bike silencer about a week ago. It's not swollen or blistered, but the skin is dark red and it feels stretched. It doesn't hurt, but it feels dry and itchy sometimes. Now there's a mark where the burn was. I bought Sofinox cream thinking it might help with the burn mark, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to use. Could you suggest a better cream to help remove this mark?

I've been using Dremz ultra cream for post-inflammatory pigmentation for about two weeks now. I'm wondering if it's okay to keep using it for a longer period of time, and how would I know when to stop? Also, are there any side effects if I suddenly stop using it? Could you explain all this to me in detail?

Dremz Ultra cream, containing ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, and niacinamide, is typically used for 2-3 months to address post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH); using it for an extended period may lead to skin irritation, dryness, or increased sensitivity; to avoid rebound hyperpigmentation, gradual tapering of the cream is recommended when stopping, such as reducing frequency or switching to a maintenance product, and side effects from sudden cessation are unlikely, but may include mild skin irritation or recurrence of PIH.

I've noticed a white substance forming on the shaft of my penis whenever I pull back the skin, and this has been happening for the last 6 months. Also, I've realized that the hair on my scrotum has turned yellow and become thicker. I suspect this could be trichomycosis pubis. Can someone help me figure out what's going on or suggest any solutions?
