I've noticed that my face used to be quite fair, but now it's gradually getting darker. It's really worrying me and I'm not sure what to do. Can you suggest any medical treatments or advice for why my face keeps getting darker day by day?

A darkening face can be caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, sun exposure, or skin conditions like melasma; to address this issue, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice, and potential medical treatments may include topical creams or serums containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or vitamin C to help lighten and even out your skin tone, as well as sun protection measures like broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and a hat to prevent further darkening.

I've got a mark on my face from some stitches and I'm really hoping it can be removed. Could you please let me know if that's possible and what the options might be? I'm quite concerned about it.
Stitch marks on the face can be challenging to completely remove, but various treatments can help minimize their appearance; consider consulting a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for options like: topical silicone gel or sheeting, steroid injections, laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels to help flatten and fade the scars.

I've noticed this yellow patch on my right breast really close to my nipple. It's not causing any pain, and there aren't any lumps or discharge, just this yellow spot. It's been two days, and it's still there, which has me feeling anxious. I'm just wondering, could this be something serious like cancer or maybe just a bruise?
That could be normal bruise, no need to worry,to be on safeside, visit surgeon for evaluation.
