I've noticed that my butt and knees are darker than the rest of my body and it bothers me. It just seems unattractive and I'm really hoping to even out my skin tone. I have a brown complexion. What can I do to make it all look more balanced?

To help even out the skin tone on your buttocks and knees, you can consider using a skin lightening cream that contains ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or alpha arbutin. These ingredients can help lighten dark areas of the skin and promote a more even tone. You can try using a cream like Meladerm or Ambi Fade Cream, applying it to the affected areas once or twice a day as directed. Additionally, make sure to exfoliate the skin regularly to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. Remember to use sunscreen on these areas to prevent further darkening from sun exposure.

Can I take Perfectil vitamins if I mostly just get the occasional pimple but have really dark eyelids and circles under my eyes? My hair has been thinning as well, and I'm 25. I'm worried because it has 10 mg of biotin. Is that okay to take?

No use. The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated.

I'm really worried about my skin after using No Scar cream. I'm experiencing some side effects, and it's making me anxious. How long does it usually take for the skin to get back to normal and regain its usual appearance after such issues?

It is difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for the skin to return to its previous appearance after experiencing side effects from a no scar cream. The time frame can vary depending on the individual's skin type, the severity of the side effects, and how the skin responds to treatment. However, you can consider using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to help soothe the skin and promote healing.

I've had these papillae on the left side of my tongue for about a month now, with four of them there. I started taking a daily Zincovit tablet around 15 days ago, but I haven't noticed any improvement. They don't hurt or anything, but I'm just concerned. Could you advise on what might be going on or suggest something that could help?

If your tongues papillae are not painful and you're not experiencing any other symptoms, it's usually not a cause for concern, but follow-up with a healthcare provider can help to reassure you and ensure that nothing more serious is going on.
