I've recently recovered from a viral fever, but now I'm dealing with a lot of acne popping up on my face. It's really frustrating and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this?

I'm worried because I applied chuna powder on my mole, and now it's healing. How long will it take to heal completely? Will there be any scars? Can you recommend any ointments I can get in India to speed up the healing process?

It is important to keep the area clean and protected while it heals. You can apply Silverex cream twice a day to help with the healing process and reduce the risk of scarring. Make sure to consult a doctor if you notice any signs of infection or if the mole does not heal properly.

I've been dealing with this brown mark on my skin after using garlic paste on a pimple, and it's been about 2 months now without any fading. Should I be worried, or is there something I can do to help it heal?

I've got a small lump on my cheek that popped up a few hours after I woke up. It's lighter than my normal skin tone, and I can't figure out what it is or how it happened. It's really noticeable and I'm a bit worried. What could this be?

That could be due to insect bite, don't try to squeeze it, visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management
