I've been experiencing a skin issue where my neck has been significantly darker than the rest of my skin for about five years now. Recently, I've also noticed that I'm starting to get darkness around my nose. It's really been bothering me, and I'm curious about what might be causing this. Could there be an underlying reason for these pigmentation changes, and what can I do to address them?

View allIs it possible to remove sentinel skin tags without surgery and how long does the recovery usually take if they're removed non-surgically
Yes, sentinel skin tags (also called sentinel piles) can be removed without surgery using methods like cryotherapy, burning, or freezing, or by tying a piece of dental floss or fine cotton around the base of the skin tag. The recovery time for non-surgical removal is usually a few weeks, with the tag dropping off after freezing or burning.

I'm curious about getting glutathione injections and have a few questions. Whats the cost for the whole process and how long does it usually take to start seeing results? Is there somewhere in Pune where I can get them? Also, do you need to take these injections regularly or just once in a while to maintain the results?

I've had this small, hard lump near my groin on the left leg for the past 34 days and I'm getting a bit worried. It seemed like it might've been a hair follicle issue at first, but those usually clear up in a day or two, and this one's just sticking around. Recently, I had a fever and went to the doctor who gave me some red liquid and pills, probably antibiotics, but I'm not sure if they're related to the lump or something else. Im generally pretty healthy with no other medical issues, so I'm not sure what this could mean. Should I see a dermatologist or a urologist about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
