I've got these three lines on my stomach that I thought were from when I was heavier. Now that I've lost weight, I still have them. What can be done to make them go away?

To help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream on the affected area once daily at night. Additionally, you can also consider using a cream containing Hyaluronic Acid to improve skin hydration and elasticity. Make sure to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.

View allI've noticed that my lips have gotten darker because of some medication side effects, and I'm really worried about it. I used to have naturally red lips, and I'm considering laser treatments to lighten them. Could you help me understand if this is a good option or if there are any other treatments I should look into?
Laser treatment may help lighten dark lips caused by side effects of medical drugs. In addition to laser treatment, you can also consider using a lip lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. It is important to protect your lips from sun exposure by using a lip balm with SPF. Consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm thinking about using a derma roller for my face, but I'm not entirely sure how to properly sanitize it. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Dettol or Savlon to clean it. Could you walk me through the sanitizing process? I'm a bit worried about making sure it's safe to use on my skin.
While Dettol or Savlon can be used to sanitize a derma roller, a more recommended approach is to soak the derma roller in a mixture of 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or ethanol for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with sterile or distilled water, and let air-dry; this method is gentler on the needles and more effective against bacteria and other microorganisms.

I'm really concerned about using skin creams and I recently used Skinlite cream. I'm thinking about trying Melaglow next, but I'm worried if it's safe for my skin after using Skinlite. If it's not, can you recommend a cream that's safe for skin whitening? Would really appreciate your help!
continue same treatment.
