I've got a couple of self-harm scars on my forearm and I'm wondering if there's any scar treatment that could help get rid of them. They've caused me a lot of trouble with people being suspicious and asking questions, and I'd really love to have them gone. What options might be available to me?

I'm 21 and dealing with oily skin and a dark brown complexion. I've got pimples, blackhead scars, and these big pores from acne. Right now, I'm using Contimycin, Clinagel, and Garnier Men oil clear face wash. I'm really hoping to get whiter skin and finally get rid of this acne. Do you have any suggestions or advice on what I should try next?

To address your acne concerns and skin tone, consider adding the following to your routine: a salicylic acid-based cleanser, a benzoyl peroxide-based spot treatment, a niacinamide serum for skin brightening, and a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, while consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice and adjusting your current products as needed.

I've had this flat black mole under my right armpit for a long time, and it hasn't really bothered me. But a few days ago, I noticed some soreness in that area and felt like my lymph nodes were swollen, which only lasted for two days. It happened right when I got my period, so I'm not sure if theyre related. Now, I've started to feel pain in the mole, especially when I touch it or stretch my arm. I haven't shaved my underarms in a while, so that could have caused some of the discomfort too. Should I be concerned about this?
