I've been noticing these dark bruise-like marks showing up on my lower legs for the last 8 months, and no matter what, they just won't fade away. It's kind of worrying me because they keep increasing. I am on the heavier side, and I'm wondering if my weight might be causing these haematomas, especially when there's pressure on certain spots of my legs. I've talked to a couple of doctors, but none seem to really get what's going on or how to treat it. Is there something else I could try, or some insight I might be missing?

I'm a bit confused about the difference between Deriva CMS and Clear Gel. My doctor recommended Deriva CMS for my acne scars, but I'm really wondering if it will actually help reduce them. Also, what exactly is Clear Gel used for? Can you help clarify this for me?

Deriva CMS will likely help with acne scars over time by improving skin texture, reducing dark spots, and stimulating collagen production. It may not fully eliminate deep scars, but it should help improve overall appearance. Clear Gel is more suited for treating active acne and will not have much impact on reducing scars.

I'm going to have my medical exam for the Indian Air Force soon, but I've heard that having sweaty palms and feet could be a problem for passing. My medical's coming up on 17th July at Palam Airport in Delhi, and now I'm really worried about it. Does this actually mean I won't be fit? What should I do?

Thats a condition called hyperhydrisis ,no need to worry get your Thyroid levels checked and if it is normal ,you are healthy and many people will be having that issue of Hyperhydrosis soo no need to worry.
