I've been using Melacare cream for my acne scars for the past 7 months, and it's really helped lighten them and even my complexion by about 2 tones. But I'm worried because whenever I try to stop using it, my skin gets super irritated, I get lots of tiny white bumpy acne around my mouth, and my skin turns darker than it used to be. I'm 22 and also dealing with PCOS and a vitamin D deficiency. What can I do to solve this problem once and for all?

I'm really worried right now. While I was shaving with a trimmer that has stainless steel blades, I accidentally got a cut on my scrotum. It bled quite a bit, and I noticed the skin has peeled off in about 23 places. The bleeding has stopped, but I'm unsure about how to help it heal properly. What should I apply to these cuts to prevent any further problems?
