Ive been really struggling with sun tanning on my hands and neck. Theyve gotten quite dark lately, and Id really love to get my hands and face to match in color since my face is still quite bright. I'm looking for affordable home-based treatments that can help even out my skin tone. Could you please give me some advice?

To reduce sun tanning on your hands and neck, you can try using a mixture of lemon juice and honey. Apply this mixture on the affected areas and leave it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. You can do this daily until you see improvement. Additionally, using aloe vera gel on the tanned areas can also help in lightening the skin. Remember to apply sunscreen with a high SPF before going out in the sun to prevent further tanning.

View allIve been dealing with some small acne on my face and went to a dermatologist about a month ago. He prescribed some medicines after examining me, but unfortunately, the acne hasn't improved. The medications were Phexin 500 mg, Doxy 1 LR 100 mg capsules, Zitcare, and Acnovate gel. Should I keep using these or try something different? I'm just a bit worried about why they haven't worked yet and would love some advice!
the medications are appropriate for the condition ,if they doesnt work on your skin need to switch to other drugs,visit your dermatologist for appropriate treatment and ruleout the cause for acne.

I've noticed a new white patch on my neck below the chin, and it's quite visible after I shave. I've always had some skin discoloration on my chest and neck since birth, but this patch is new. I saw a doctor who gave me a cleanser and gel to use, and they also prescribed a single dose of Dicaris 150 mg. I'm a bit concerned about what this medication is for and how serious my skin issue might be. Could you help me understand?
Dicaris (Ivermectin) is an antiparasitic medication. _Possible Reasons for Dicaris Prescription_ 1. _Scabies or mites_: Ivermectin is commonly used to treat scabies, mites, or other parasitic infections that can cause skin discoloration. 2. _Fungal or bacterial infections_: Although less common, ivermectin may be prescribed off-label for certain fungal or bacterial infections. _Possible Causes of Skin Discoloration_ 1. _Pityriasis versicolor_: A fungal infection that causes skin discoloration. 2. _Vitiligo_: An autoimmune condition that causes white patches on the skin. 3. _Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)_: Skin darkening or discoloration after inflammation or injury. _Seriousness of Skin Discoloration_ 1. _Most cases are benign_: Skin discoloration is often not a cause for concern. 2. _Monitor for changes_: Keep an eye on the patch for any changes in size, shape, color, or texture.
