I've got dark and oily skin with some acne marks, and I'm really hoping to lighten my skin tone. I've been hearing about creams with kojic acid that might help reduce melanin, but I'm not sure if they're right for me. Can using kojic acid actually help with my complexion? Would it be safe for my oily skin, and will it do anything for my acne scars?

View allHey, I'm 31 and in pretty good health overall, but I've got these pimples and old acne marks on my nose that I'm trying to deal with. I've been taking the Evion 400mg, those green colored capsules, for the past three weeks. Is it okay to keep taking them? I'm just concerned if they could cause any harm to my health. Would love some advice on this!

I've had tanning on my hands since visiting a coastal area a while back. How can I get rid of it? Any advice would really help.
To reduce tanning on your hands, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply the cream to the affected areas twice a day for several weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on your hands daily can help prevent further tanning.

I'm really worried about a burn I got from a silencer. It developed a bubble that turned into pus, and now the outer layer of skin has come off, showing the pinkish inner skin. It's really painful. Could you advise me on what I should do for it?
Sounds like you have a second-degree burn with signs of infection. To help with the pain and prevent infection, you can clean the area gently with mild soap and water, then apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. Cover the burn with a sterile gauze bandage to protect it. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and monitor for any signs of increasing redness, swelling, or drainage, which may indicate a worsening infection. If the symptoms worsen or do not improve, please seek medical attention.
