I've stopped using mometasone furoate cream for a week now, but I'm noticing these dark circle patches appearing on my skin. What can I do to get rid of these patches and clear up my skin?

You can try using a hydroquinone cream along with a good sunscreen to help lighten the dark patches on your skin. You can try using Melalite cream (hydroquinone) in the evening and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day. Make sure to apply the cream only on the dark patches and follow up with a moisturizer. Additionally, you can consider using a vitamin C serum to help brighten your skin. Remember to consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.

I'm a guy who's really struggling with pubic hair. It's super itchy when the shaved hair grows back, and I've got these spots where three hairs are coming out of one pore. It feels like scratching nails. I want to get rid of all my pubic hair permanently. Ive heard about laser removal, but Im worried about the pain and curious about the costs. Can you suggest a place in Pune that offers painless laser removal around the penis area?
