I've got this issue where the skin on my stomach and back is much darker than the rest of my body. My face and arms have a clearer and more even tone. I've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing seems to work. I even went for a chemical peel, but it only made a small difference for just a few days. I'm really puzzled and a bit worried. What could be causing this uneven skin tone and how can I effectively address it?

I'm taking three Limcee 500 mg tablets each day and I'm just wondering if that's okay. Is it safe to take that much Vitamin C, or should I be worried about any side effects or health risks?

Taking 3 Limcee 500 mg tablets is generally safe as Limcee is a Vitamin C supplement. However, it is recommended to not exceed the daily recommended dosage of Vitamin C, which is around 2000 mg per day for adults. Excessive intake of Vitamin C may lead to gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea. It is advisable to stick to the recommended dosage to avoid any potential side effects.

I've noticed a lump near my anus for the past few days, but it's not actually on the anus. I'm pretty sure it's not a hemorrhoid because I already have internal hemorrhoids, and this feels different. What could this lump be?

Anovate cream for local application at bedtime for 7 days, tab.ciplox tz twice daily orally for 7 days and tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime is advised to the patient.
