I've been using Melacare cream for over a year now and I'm really worried because I want to stop using it. The problem is, I've lost my fairness and now my face is covered in acne. How can I get my clear skin back and safely stop using this cream?

I have a mole on my forehead that I've had since birth and I'm thinking about getting it removed. How much does the surgery usually cost and will there be a scar after? If it does leave a mark, how long until it fades? Are there any safe ways to remove it at home or is surgery the only option?

Mole removal costs ₹3,000–₹10,000; mild scar may remain and fade in months—home removal isn’t safe.

I've had this sore for about three months now and it's not healing. It started as just a pimple between my butt cheeks, close to the anus, and now it won't dry up. Every time I take a bath or go to the bathroom, it just seems to stay unhealed. I've tried using a band-aid, but it's hard to apply in that area, and I've been putting neosporin gel and powder on it, but it hasn't improved. It's not a big wound, just about a 3mm radius, but it's really bothering me. Do you have any advice on what I can do to finally heal it?

Could be a pilonidal sinus which needs to be evaluated. consult general surgeon
