I've been using a skin lightening cream on my face, but I've noticed my face is breaking out with black acne. What can I do to fix this problem, and which face cream would you recommend for glowing skin and acne removal?

For acne removal and to improve face glow, you can consider using a face cream containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene helps in acne treatment by preventing the formation of new acne, while benzoyl peroxide helps in reducing acne-causing bacteria and inflammation.

My nails have turned yellow, but my eye color and urine color seem normal. Could this be jaundice, or is something else going on? What should I do?

I've got this thin light black-brown line right in the middle of my left thumb, and I dont feel any pain or itching from it. I cant recall injuring my thumb, though. I talked to a doctor, but not a Dermatologist. He guessed it was some fungal infection, so I took medicine for a week. The line hasnt disappeared or gotten darker, but the doctor said it looked slightly lighter and told me not to worry about it. It doesnt appear on any other fingers on my hands or feet. Should I be concerned about this line? Should I get a second opinion, maybe from a Dermatologist? Is it something that needs urgent attention?

That could be due stress or pressure induced pigmentation,no need to worry unless it does progress otherwise u can ignore it.
