I've been dealing with some really weird lip issues. It started with my lips swelling from top to bottom, and after a few days, they went back down. But then, they started darkening and eventually turned completely black. Now they're super dry and chapped and sometimes burn depending on what I put on them. I'm really not sure what's going on or what to do about it. Can you help me figure this out?

This sounds like a condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation of the lips. To help with the darkening, dryness, and chapping of your lips, I recommend using a lip balm containing hydrocortisone and sunscreen during the day. You can also apply a thin layer of hydroquinone cream at night to help lighten the dark pigmentation. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid licking your lips, as saliva can further dry them out. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried about my skin. I've been using this fair cream from Zee Drugs for about a year now, and I'm noticing some issues. If I skip using it for just a day, I get these small pimple-like things near my nose and all over my forehead. The longer I don't use it, the redder and itchier they become. And when I do use the cream again, my nose becomes covered with pimples that won't go away. Can someone please help me figure out what's going on and what I should do about it?

I'm dealing with a sebaceous cyst right next to my left eye and I'm really unsure about what to do. Could you guide me on the best treatment options to consider?
For Sebaceous cyst near your left eye, the best treatment option would be to use warm compresses to help reduce inflammation and promote drainage. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Neosporin to prevent infection. If the cyst is large or causing discomfort, it may need to be surgically removed by a doctor. Please consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
