I've had this white patch on the back of my shoulder for about 20 days and it's turned black after I used melanocyl ointment. It's peeling like dry skin now, and sometimes it itches, though it doesn't really hurt. The skin feels a bit sensitive. Can someone help me figure out what's going on and how to treat it?

I've noticed some small blisters on the head of my penis. They're really tiny and they showed up about a week after I had a viral fever. They don't itch or hurt, but I'm kind of worried about what they could be. Could this be something serious or is it just a part of recovering from the fever? Would really like some advice on this.

I'm really curious about whether melanin treatment for achieving fairer skin is actually safe. Could you tell me how long the process usually takes and what the cost might be? Also, have you ever carried out skin whitening treatments using melanin? I'm a bit worried and would love to know if I can undergo this treatment and what possible side effects there could be.
These is a vague terminology and makes no sense. Kindly do not fall into the hands of such therapists. I think no Dermatologist will recommend you something like this. Basically there are depigmentation treatment protocols which modify melanocytes functioning in an orchestrated manner that results in a healthier and better skin tone, This could be a chemical peel, rejuvenation skin lasers or mesotherapy and PRP therapy. Meet a qualified dermatologist in person near you to understand these in more details.
