I've noticed my forehead is swollen just above my right eye. It's not itchy or painful and measures about 1 inch wide by 1.5 inches in height. A couple of nights ago, my head was really itchy, and I had big, itchy bumps all over my shoulders. I'm not sure if that's connected, but what might be causing the swelling on my forehead?

he sudden onset of a painless, non-itchy swelling on your forehead, coinciding with a previous episode of itchy bumps on your shoulders, could be related to an allergic reaction, insect bites, or angioedema, but other possibilities include a forehead cyst, eyelid stye, or a side effect of a medication; to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, it's recommended to consult a dermatologist or primary care physician for a thorough evaluation.

View allI'm thinking about trying this Biocos emergency whitening cream with serum, but I'm really concerned about its safety. The product says it doesn't contain bleach or mercury, but I'm worried it might still harm my face. Can you let me know if it's okay to use?
Cream - BIOCOS emergency whitening cream with serum is a topical product that claims to provide fairness without containing bleach or mercury. While these ingredients are harmful to the skin, it is important to note that fairness creams in general may contain other ingredients that can potentially cause damage or irritation to the skin. It is recommended to perform a patch test before using the cream on your face. Apply a small amount on a small area of your skin and wait for 24 hours to see if there is any adverse reaction such as redness, itching, or burning sensation. If there is no reaction, you can proceed to use it as directed. However, it is important to keep in mind that fairness creams may not be suitable for all skin types and may not provide long-term benefits. It is always best to focus on a healthy skincare routine that includes sunscreen, moisturizer, and gentle cleansing. If you experience any irritation or discomfort while using the cream, discontinue use immediately. If you have any underlying skin conditions or concerns, it is advisable to consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I've been dealing with some skin issues after using this hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone furoate cream for my acne and the marks it left behind. Whenever I used it, my skin looked great and glowy, but whenever I stopped and went out in the sun, my face would turn really dark. Now I've been off the cream for 8 months, and my face is in such bad shape. There's a big difference in color between my face and the rest of my body, plus I've got these red marks, dull skin, and lots of pigmentation. It's really frustrating and I'm just not sure what to do at this point. Could you help me out with this?
