I've got this black mark on my skin from an oil splash that turned red, and even though I used boroline, the mark's still there. What ointment should I use to help fade it away?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A splash of oil can sometimes cause skin irritation and lead to discoloration. To help fade the black mark left by the oil, you can apply a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the affected area once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.

I'm 31 years old and I've noticed a fatty tissue under my right armpit. It's not a lipoma, so I'm not sure what it is or what I should do about it. Can you help me figure out what steps to take next?

I'm currently being treated for shingles, and I'm just trying to figure out how serious it is. Is there a quick way to get better, like with an injection or something? And once it clears up, will there be any marks left on my skin?
Not advised injections , continue oral medicines.
