I've been noticing these small lumps on my cheekbone, right under my eye. They tend to swell up by themselves and then the swelling goes down after a few days, but then they come back after about a month. It's like a recurring cycle and I'm starting to get scars from them. Should I be worried about these lumps? What could be causing this?

I'm noticing these white spots or bumps at the corners of my lips, and I'm not sure why they're there or how to get rid of them. Also, my lips have become quite dark, and I don't even smoke. What could be causing this, and what steps can I take to improve it? Would love some guidance on this.

dermatologist opinion is advised.

I've been using this Panderm Plus cream, and every time I go out, my skin seems to get darker, even though I put on sunscreen. I'm really thinking about stopping the use of this cream, but I'm not sure how to get my skin back to normal afterward. Do you have any advice on how I can handle this situation?

1. *Gradually taper off*: Don't stop using Panderm Plus abruptly. Gradually reduce the frequency and amount applied over 2-3 weeks. 2. *Replace with alternative creams*: Consult your doctor or dermatologist for alternative creams that are less likely to cause hyperpigmentation. 3. *Use sunscreen with high SPF*: Continue using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF (at least 30) and reapply every 2 hours. 4. *Wear protective clothing*: Cover your skin with clothing, hats, and umbrellas when going out. 5. *Consider vitamin C or niacinamide creams*: These creams may help reduce hyperpigmentation and promote skin brightening.
