I've got this big black patch on my right shoulder called a baker nevus, and I know it's harmless, but it's become a big deal for me, especially because it messes with my confidence. People say its not a big deal, but that's easy for them to say. I find myself avoiding places where I'd need to take off my shirt like the gym or beach, and even at home, I don't like being shirtless because of it. It's really affecting me psychologically, and sometimes, I just feel really frustrated about it. What can I do to get rid of or manage it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've been waxing my arms today and ended up with these bad bruises right in that bendy area where nurses usually take blood samples. It's not like it's my first time waxing, but this is definitely the first time I've gotten bruises like this. Is it normal for this to happen? What might be causing these bruises?

It is not normal to develop bruises after waxing, especially if this is the first time it has happened. The bruising may be due to excessive force during the waxing process or possibly using a wax that was too hot. To help with the bruising and promote healing, you can apply a topical arnica gel or cream to the affected areas. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the bruising does not improve or if you experience any signs of infection such as increased pain, redness, or swelling, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
