I've recently noticed a black spot on my toe after a foot massage. It's under the skin and doesn't go away even after cleaning. I'm a 28-year-old female and just wondering what this spot could be. Could you help me understand if this is something to worry about?

I've been using Dettol on my pimples and thankfully, they disappeared. But now Im left with a dark spot where they used to be. The Dettol burns have healed, but this spot is quite noticeable. Any advice on how I can get rid of the dark spot? It's really bothering me.

You have burnt you skin. Dettol is not the treatment for pimples. It causes irritant burns. This pigmetation if not treated may last forever.

I noticed some milia on my eyelid a couple of months back and didn't really think much of it because I heard they're not harmful. But a few friends suggested I should see a dermatologist about it. I'm really curious about what kind of treatments are available and how much they might cost. Can you give me some advice on this?

Treatment for milia usually involves extraction by a dermatologist. They may use a sterile needle or a comedone extractor to remove the milia. In some cases, a topical retinoid cream like Retin-A may be prescribed to help prevent new milia from forming. The cost of treatment can vary depending on the dermatologist and your location
