Question

I've been using Melacare for about a month to try and lighten some burn scars. They seemed to lighten up a bit, but there's still quite a bit of darkness left. I stopped using the cream a week ago, and now it seems like the marks have gotten darker and more noticeable. I'm just a bit worried about why this is happening and if I should start using the cream again or try something else?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been noticing these white spots on my feet that keep spreading. It's been over a month now, and even though my doctor prescribed this ointment called Halonexts, I'm not seeing any improvement. My skin is peeling, and the white patches are just getting worse. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I've had acanthosis nigricans for the last 11 years, and it has been particularly bad on my neck. I've tried a few creams recommended by doctors, but they haven't really helped much. I do have a bit of extra weight, but I make sure to exercise every day. My dad has diabetes, so I'm worried there might be a connection. I'm 18 now and really want to find a long-term solution. Can plastic surgery or laser treatments actually get rid of acanthosis nigricans?
