I've had this light black vertical stripe on my toe for about five years now. I always thought it was from my shoes, but then I read something online about it potentially being a sign of skin cancer. It's got me feeling really anxious. I havent had any pain or bleeding from it, but Id like to know if I should be concerned. What do you think it could be?

Don't worry cancer developing over toe fingers is not usual and your history says it could be stress and pressure induced pigmentation, visit Dermatologist for evaluation if its bothering you.

Question

I'm really concerned about the pigmentation on my lips. I've been thinking a lot about ways to reduce it but I'm not sure what my options are. Can you tell me more about the treatments available, how much they typically cost, and how long it might take before I notice any changes? Also, are there any creams specifically for dark lips that you would recommend?

Question

I'm wondering if I should take this medication before or after food. Also, I'm not sure when the best time to use Supatret 0.04 is, should I apply it at night or in the morning? Can you help me figure this out?
