My corn is a couple months old but I'm a bit confused whether it's actually a corn or a wart. If it is a corn, what can I do to get rid of it? Would I need surgery for this?

Corn can often be treated with padding and salicylic acid; surgery only if pain persists or diagnosis unclear.

I'm really stressed out because my wedding is coming up soon on July 10th, and I'm dealing with these stubborn dark spots from acne. I've heard that Betnovate N could help lighten them, but I'm worried about its side effects. I feel like I don't have any other choices right now. Could you offer any advice or alternatives?

Betnovate-N is not recommended for treating dark spots of acne due to its side effects, especially when used on the face. Instead, you can use a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, to help lighten the dark spots. Apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the affected areas once at night for 2-3 months. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.
