I've been struggling with these ugly dark spots on my legs for over a decade now. They're from allergic reactions to insect bites and I've also had a habit of picking at the swellings. I'm really frustrated and am wondering if Mederma might be the solution. I've heard about glycolic peeling too, but lasers are just way out of my budget. What do you think I should do?

View allI've been looking into different soap bars and I'm torn between the Desmodew Lite and iGlow Lite options. I'm really concerned about making sure I pick something that's safe for my skin and not harmful in any way. Can you help me understand which one might be the better choice?
Desmodew lite soap bar and i-glow lite soap bar are both safe options for the skin. However, it is important to note that individual reactions to skincare products can vary. For a safer option, I would recommend using Desmodew lite soap bar as it is known for its gentle cleansing properties and is suitable for sensitive skin. You can use Desmodew lite soap bar for daily cleansing of the skin. Apply the soap on wet skin, gently massage, and then rinse off with water. If you have any specific skin concerns or conditions, it is always best to consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.

My wife has a scar on her left eyebrow that sometimes causes sharp, injection-like pain and a small wound underneath. A doctor suggested using Tbact Ointment, but we're wondering if there are other treatments to reduce the scar without plastic surgery. What options are available for scar reduction that don't involve surgery?
Scar-related pain near the eyebrow can be treated with ointments like Mederma or silicone gel sheets; plastic surgery isn't always required unless cosmetic correction is desired.

I've noticed that I've developed quite a few til on my face, and they seem to be increasing. I'm also seeing them appear on my neck and hands. What can I do to stop them from spreading and how do I get rid of them?
Excessive oil production on your face is often due to overactive sebaceous glands. While you cant completely stop oil production (and you shouldnt, as some oil is necessary for healthy skin), you can manage it effectively with the following steps: Cleanse properly, hydrate your skin, control shine during the day by carrying tissues to absorb the excess oil without disturbing makeup, adjust your diet, avoid heavy makeup, exfoliate weekly , use specialised treatments, manage stress.
