I've got a raised mole on my upper lip and really want it gone, but I'm worried about scarring. A couple of doctors mentioned that removing it with a laser might leave a scar the size of the mole, and I'm trying to avoid that. Is there any way to get it off with little to no scarring? I'm sharing a picture with this. Any advice would be appreciated.

One option to consider is a surgical excision where the mole is cut out with a scalpel. This method can minimize scarring if done carefully by a skilled dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Another option is cryotherapy, where the mole is frozen off using liquid nitrogen. This method may also result in minimal scarring. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist to discuss these options and determine the best course of action for your specific case.

View allI've been using hydroquinone 2% for a year and had great results with my hyperpigmentation, especially on my forehead and around my mouth. Recently, I switched to taking glutathione 500mg tablets and applying Kojivit Ultra cream for the last two months. Im really curious and a bit worriedwill these two new treatments give me the same awesome results as hydroquinone, or should I consider starting another cycle with hydroquinone 2%?

Im from India, and Ive noticed that my skin is a bit uneven. My inner thighs and buttocks seem much darker compared to the rest of my body, especially after I had a fungal infection there which has now cleared up. I'm also a little overweight, which might contribute to the issue. Is there any cream or treatment that could help lighten these dark areas? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
