I've recently undergone RF treatment for my Xanthelasma, and while the wound has healed, the skin there doesn't quite match the rest of my skin tone. Do you have any recommendations for creams or treatments that could help even it out?

I would recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the skin and reduce any remaining discoloration. You can try using a cream like Melalite Forte cream, applying a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and prevent further darkening.

View allI'm really concerned about these red rings that keep appearing under my thighs. They seem to go away when I use the cream, but as soon as I stop, they come back. Occasionally, I also feel some itching on my lower back and under my hips. The only thing that seems to be working is Dermiford. Other creams didn't have any effect, but the Doxypal DR is showing some results too. Could you help me understand what's going on and how to get rid of this problem?
The recurring red rings under your thighs, accompanied by occasional itching on your lower back and under hips, may indicate a fungal infection, such as ringworm or candidiasis; the effectiveness of Dermiford and Doxypal DR creams suggests a fungal or bacterial origin; consider consulting a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and recommend a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include antifungal or antibacterial medications, in addition to topical cream

I'm noticing these little purple dots on my chin, almost like a bruise, but I haven't been hit or anything. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Should I be concerned?
It sounds like you may be experiencing petechiae, which are tiny purple, red, or brown spots on the skin. Petechiae can be caused by various factors such as straining, coughing, or even certain medications. However, it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be causing this. I recommend you consult with a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
