I've been dealing with these lichen planus spots for about 8 months now, and they just don't seem to be fading. They're primarily on my ankles and inner arms. Do these marks ever really go away?

Question

I've got some hyperpigmentation going on around my eyes and mouth, and I remember my doctor once recommended aziderm 10 for acne spots. So here's my question: Can I use aziderm for these dark circles under my eyes? Is it even safe to use in that area? Any tips on how and when I should apply it would be great!

Question

I'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?

Question

I'm 22 and I'm a bit curious about something. So, about a year ago, I saw a dermatologist and he suggested I use Morr F 5 Percent. I noticed some hair growth after two months, but then I stopped using it. Now, I've started using it again for the past 15 days. Do you think it'll help regrow the hair that I saw come from the first time I used minoxidil? Could I expect to see any results again this time around?
