I've been dealing with some skin issues after using this hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone furoate cream for my acne and the marks it left behind. Whenever I used it, my skin looked great and glowy, but whenever I stopped and went out in the sun, my face would turn really dark. Now I've been off the cream for 8 months, and my face is in such bad shape. There's a big difference in color between my face and the rest of my body, plus I've got these red marks, dull skin, and lots of pigmentation. It's really frustrating and I'm just not sure what to do at this point. Could you help me out with this?

View allI'm a bit worried because I developed a painful lump under my right armpit after waxing. It disappeared with some antibiotic cream, but I still feel a light pain there. I'm really anxious about whether this could affect my breast area. Could you advise me on which specialist I should see about this?

I'm curious about getting rid of some old blade cut marks I've had on my arm for almost 8 years now. What's the best way to treat them, and what kind of cost should I expect?
To remove old blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider undergoing laser therapy. Laser therapy can help reduce the appearance of scars by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration. One commonly used medication for this purpose is Mederma, which is a topical gel containing onion extract. It is recommended to apply Mederma on the scar twice daily for at least 3 months to see visible results. Additionally, silicone gel sheets like ScarAway can also be used to flatten and fade the scars. As for the cost, the price of laser therapy sessions can vary depending on the size and severity of the scars, as well as the number of sessions required.
