I've got this green spot on my right arm that's been there for like 4 years now. When I squeeze it, pus comes out, and honestly, it smells pretty bad. I'm not in any pain, but it's just really unpleasant. Do you have any advice on what I should do about it?

I've been using Fexo 180 for a couple of days now, but I'm still having really itchy and irritated skin. It's kind of frustrating, and honestly, I just want the itchiness to stop. I'm a 25-year-old female. Any advice on what I can do about this?

Persistent skin irritation and itching despite taking Fexo 180 may indicate that the medication is not effectively controlling your symptoms. You can try switching to another antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily or Loratadine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help relieve the itching. If the symptoms continue, it is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking for alternatives to skin lightening creams that won't thin my facial skin or cause any redness. I want to steer clear of products containing steroids. Can you suggest any options that are safe and effective?

An alternative cream that does not contain steroids and is gentler on the skin is "Kojivit Plus Gel". It contains kojic acid, arbutin, and vitamin C which help in skin lightening without thinning the skin or causing redness. You can apply a thin layer of Kojivit Plus Gel on the affected areas of the face once at night.

I'm starting to eat more dry fruits like figs, apricots, and almonds. But I'm a bit worried they might cause acne. I know everyone says theyre healthy, but I have sensitive skin, and I'm not sure if these can trigger breakouts. Have you seen this happen before? Should I be cautious with certain types like black raisins or walnuts?
