I've noticed my skin has become really dark and oily, and there's no glow anymore. This isn't related to any genetic issues. When I was about 8 years old, I had frequent cold, cough, high fevers, and stomach pains, leading to taking a lot of medicine. Could that be why my skin changed? I'm hoping there's some kind of treatment to get my skin back to normal. What do you think might help?

I've noticed that my skin tone has gotten darker over the years. I used to have a lighter, whitish complexion until around ages 10 or 11, but it's changed gradually since then. I went to a dermatologist who recommended a skin lightening cream called Declipse, but I've been using it for a month without seeing much improvement. I'm feeling a bit concerned and unsure what to do next. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Ask your dermatologist for change of medicine and it takes minimum 90 days to see any difference have patience

I'm dealing with a lot of sexual health issues, like redness and patches on the foreskin and tip of my penis for the last two years. I've tried both generic and homeopathy tablets, and while there were some small improvements with the homeopathy tablets, the redness and patches keep coming back. I've also used Clop G cream, but it hasn't helped. This all started about three years ago after a sexual encounter. The skin on the right side of my penis broke, it healed with tablets back then, but about a year later, this ongoing issue began. There hasn't been any change for the past two years. Can you give me some advice or solutions for this problem? I'm really concerned and would appreciate any guidance you can offer.

I've been dealing with these wounds that are filled with pus, and they're just not healing even after using Cipladine ointment. Can you suggest some other medicine that might work? I'm getting worried it's not improving.
