I've been dealing with this brown mark on my skin after using garlic paste on a pimple, and it's been about 2 months now without any fading. Should I be worried, or is there something I can do to help it heal?

View allI'm really concerned because I've been using glyco 6 for half an hour at night and then switching to tyrolite cream overnight for my hyperpigmentation, as my dermatologist recommended. Instead of improving, the dark spots on my face have gotten worse. Should I keep using these creams? I'm not quite sure how they affect my skin. Could the marks be caused by glyco 6? Does glyco 6 peel the skin before it starts to improve the condition?
The sudden increase in dark spots after using Glyco 6 and Tyro-Lite cream may be due to the initial skin reaction, as Glyco 6 (containing glycolic acid) can cause a temporary darkening or "purging" effect as it exfoliates and peels the skin, revealing underlying pigment; however, it's essential to consult your dermatologist

I recently noticed some warts around the base of my penis, so I tried using this product called Wart Magic. I put it on the warts three times, but after the third time, it started burning really badly and it just won't stop. I'm stuck in a training course for the next six weeks and I can't see a doctor right now. What can I do to get some relief from this burning sensation?
yes

I'm really struggling to find a safe night cream because my skin is sensitive and has a dusky tone. Is it okay to use Lacto Calamine? If it's not the best option, could you suggest some safer alternatives? I'm just worried about causing any irritation or breakouts.
Lacto Calamine can be safe to use for sensitive skin, but it may not be suitable for everyone. If you are looking for safer substitutes, you can consider using Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream or Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion. These are gentle on the skin and can help with hydration without causing irritation. Apply a thin layer of the moisturizer on your face at night before going to bed for best results.
