I've been dealing with this black scar on my upper lip ever since I waxed it five months ago, and it's starting to worry me. I've tried using Mederma SPF 30 cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I've attached an image of the scar. Could you recommend a good cream or medicine that might work?

I've noticed that there's a spot in my mustache where the hair just isn't growing, even though the hair is there and surrounding areas are growing fine. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a disease, and do you think it'll start growing again on its own or do I need to look into some medicine?

I've had this burning sensation and itching near my penis for about a week now and I tried using Dermasure SN cream but it hasn't really helped. I'm starting to get worried about what this could be. What else should I try or do you think it's time to get checked out?

I'm really worried because both of my hands have turned black due to macular amyloidosis. I've been seeing a doctor for this, but none of the creams they prescribed have worked. Is there any other treatment option available, like laser, that might help?
