Question

I've been noticing that the area around my scrotum is getting darker over the past four years. I've been using a razor to clean my pubic hair, and I'm wondering if I can use bleaching on my private parts to lighten the skin there. Could hydroquinone help make my genitals lighter?

I've been taking isotretinoin at 20 mg and it's really drying out my lips. I've tried a few lip balms, but nothing seems to help. Could you recommend a lip balm that might work better? I'm getting a bit worried about how chapped they're getting.

Question

I've been swimming a lot recently, and I've noticed my skin has really darkened from the chlorine in the pool water. What can I do to get my fair skin tone back? Also, how can I prevent this darkening from happening in the future when I swim?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She had a foot corn and used a corn cap, then cleaned it with Dettol for about 45 days, which seemed to burn her skin pretty bad. We went to a dermatologist who prescribed omnacortil 40mg. I read online that this medicine should show effects in about an hour, but she's not feeling any improvement. Her hands and foot look burnt, they're itchy, and she can't fold her fingers because they're swollen. She's also taking augmentin 625mg three times a day. How long does it usually take for the steroid to start working, and when might she start getting better? It's really concerning.
