I've noticed that my armpits have turned dark and patchy, and there's a bit of swelling too. It gets itchy, especially when I sweat. I don't put deodorant directly on my skin. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Melacure cream for local application for atleast 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient, as it is economical.

I've got this old scar in the center of my forehead from stitches, and I'm wondering what options are out there for getting rid of it. It's become a bit of a concern for me, and I'd really appreciate some suggestions or advice on this. What should I consider doing?
There are several options available for scar removal, including topical treatments, laser therapy, and surgical procedures. One commonly used topical treatment is Mederma, which can help improve the appearance of scars. For laser therapy, you can consider using Fraxel or PicoSure lasers to help reduce the visibility of the scar. In some cases, surgical procedures such as scar revision surgery may be recommended by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best treatment option for your specific scar.
