I've had these two small pimple-like bumps on the side of my cheek for a few months now. At first, I thought it was just acne, but theyre not going away. Do you think it could be a cyst or something else?

I'm really worried about a burn scar from Dettol. Does anyone know whether it's going to be a permanent mark or will it eventually fade away? And if it does heal, how long does it normally take for new skin to develop?

This morning, part of my forehead looks like it might be burntlike a chemical burn. I'm kicking myself for it. Do you think it will heal on its own, or am I going to have a permanent mark?
