I've been getting this weird mark that looks like a hickey on my neck. It's shown up three times in the exact same spot since last fall. The thing is, I know it's definitely not a hickey, and it doesn't itch or hurt. I'm pretty nervous because I haven't done anything that might cause it. I'm 39 and in decent health, and even using hydrocortisone cream hasn't helped. It's hard to see a doctor because by the time I get an appointment, it disappears. It just pops up out of nowhere. What do you think might be going on?

I've been using hydroquinone 2% for a year and had great results with my hyperpigmentation, especially on my forehead and around my mouth. Recently, I switched to taking glutathione 500mg tablets and applying Kojivit Ultra cream for the last two months. Im really curious and a bit worriedwill these two new treatments give me the same awesome results as hydroquinone, or should I consider starting another cycle with hydroquinone 2%?

I've had a broad forehead since I was born, and I've been using minoxidil to try and grow some hair there. I've started noticing a few small hairs beginning to grow. Do you think they'll get longer? Also, how many months should I continue using minoxidil before I can expect to see more results?

I've been dealing with a lot of acne lately, and my skin's gotten really oily. I've been using Clincitop cream, along with a Lotus tea tree face wash and Oriflame tea tree moisturizer. I'm really hoping to clear up these pimples and the marks they leave behind, plus I'd love to get rid of this oily skin. Could you please guide me on what to do?
