I've noticed about a 1-inch yellow patch on my husband's right arm, and I'm really not sure what it could be. It hurts a little when you pinch it. Could you help me figure out what this might be and what we should do next?

View allI'm really struggling with some skin issues. I was using these creams, Momate and Dremz, for my acanthosis, which I got because of my PCOD. But now I've got both the acanthosis and something called themal on my face. Is there a way to get rid of this for good?

I'm really stressed out because my skin's gotten darker from using pads. I've tried different home remedies and creams, but it's only made things worse, and now I've lost my original skin tone. I can't stand the way my skin looks right now and it's affecting my confidence. Can anyone guide me on how to fix this and get my normal skin back?
it seems like you may be experiencing a condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. To help lighten the darkened areas and restore your skin tone, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One example of a suitable cream is Melalite Forte cream, to be applied once daily at night on the affected areas. Additionally, using a sunscreen with high SPF daily is crucial to prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to apply the sunscreen generously and reapply every few hours if you are outdoors. It is also important to avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible. Remember to be patient as it may take several weeks to see noticeable improvement in your skin tone.

Over winter, I've noticed my skin tends to get a darker shade, even though I've usually got a fair skin tone. What do you think might be causing this? Plus, my skin gets pretty dry around this time. Could you recommend a moisturizer that isn't sticky but still brightens up my skin? Would love some advice on how to manage both these issues!
