I've got this nose piercing I did last month, and now there's this annoying bump with some redness around it that's just not going away. I'm really worried because my wedding is in February, and I want it to heal before then. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

-For the bump and redness, it's important to keep the piercing clean with saline solution and avoid touching it with dirty hands. If it persists or worsens, consider consulting your piercer or a dermatologist to ensure proper healing before your marriage

I've been using Skinlite cream since January 2017, but when I stopped, I noticed my nose and mouth area getting darker. I just saw a dermatologist in Warangal, and he recommended some tablets and Nadibact gel. I feel really self-conscious at work when talking to my colleagues because of this. Is there a way to lighten my skin again? Can you help me figure out what to do next?
