I've noticed a dark red line and a spot on my nose over the past few days, and it's just getting darker. Honestly, it's starting to look pretty bad. Could you give me some advice on how to get rid of it?

This could be a sign of a skin condition or infection. I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Neosporin on the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can apply a small amount of hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at it. If the condition does not improve or worsens, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI've read that barium sulfate can be used in preparing soap for removing permanent unwanted hair. Is that safe to use? I'm worried because I don't know much about how barium sulfate works and if it has any side effects on the skin. Can you explain this to me and whether it's a reliable method?
Using soap combined with any substance like barium sulfate for hair removal would not provide any significant results and could potentially cause irritation or harm to the skin. Always choose clinically tested and proven methods for hair removal.

I've been using hydroquinone cream for about a year, but over the last four months, I've noticed I'm getting a lot of pimples and my skin is becoming darker. I'm really hoping to get clear, glowing skin. Any tips on how I can achieve this?
Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.
