I've been dealing with really itchy skin on my leg for about a year now, and it's led to these black patches forming. On top of that, I've started having some breathing problems and I'm worried it might be an allergy reaction to cold. Could these symptoms be related, and should I be concerned about the patches and breathing issues?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been using panderm cream to try and get rid of the black spots on her face, but it seems like every time she stops, the spots not only come back, but they're even worse. I'm concerned if it's really safe for her to be using this cream. Are there any side effects she should be aware of?

I'm thinking about using a derma roller for my face, but I'm not entirely sure how to properly sanitize it. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Dettol or Savlon to clean it. Could you walk me through the sanitizing process? I'm a bit worried about making sure it's safe to use on my skin.
While Dettol or Savlon can be used to sanitize a derma roller, a more recommended approach is to soak the derma roller in a mixture of 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or ethanol for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with sterile or distilled water, and let air-dry; this method is gentler on the needles and more effective against bacteria and other microorganisms.
