I've been using Betnovate cream for about four months, and I've noticed something concerning: hair has started to grow on my face, and I'm getting pimples too. Is this a normal reaction? Should I be worried or stop using the cream?

I'm noticing some dark spots on my feet, and it's kind of worrying me. There's no itching or anything, but I'm really curious about what might be causing them. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Dark spots on the feet without itching could be due to a condition called hyperpigmentation. This can be caused by various factors such as friction, sun exposure, or even certain medical conditions. To help lighten the dark spots, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone 4% along with glycolic acid. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas once daily in the evening. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to prevent further darkening of the spots.

Hi there, I've got a mole on my face that's been bothering me. It seems to be growing and there's even a hair coming out of it. I've also had a couple of keloids before, right on my sternum, which I got after shaving my chest about five years ago. They're the only ones I've ever had, so I'm not sure if I have a tendency for keloids or if it was a one-time thing. I'm super worried about the possibility of getting a keloid if I decide to remove the mole. What do you think the chances are of that happening? I've been reading up on mole removal methods and I'm stuck between choosing a complete excision or a radiofrequency shave excision. Do you have any thoughts on which might be better, especially in terms of reducing the risk of keloid development? Also, with the radiofrequency shave excision, is there a chance the mole might come back? Any advice would be really appreciated!

I recommend opting for radiofrequency shave excision for removing the mole on your face, as this method typically results in less scarring compared to complete mole excision. The chances of developing a keloid in place of the mole are relatively low, especially since you mentioned that you have not experienced keloids in other areas of your body. The risk of recurrence after radiofrequency shave excision is minimal, and this method is generally safe and effective for removing moles. It's understandable that you are concerned about developing keloids, but based on your history and the location of the mole, the likelihood of this happening is low. If you have any specific concerns or questions, feel free to ask.
