My face seems a lot darker compared to my chest and stomach, and I'm usually on the fairer side. I've been walking around 4 km every day to college, sometimes in the sun, and I'm wondering if this is a tan. How can I get my usual skin tone back? Also, I have quite a few dark pimple marks on my face. Are there any home remedies I can try?

View allI've had this cyst on my left cheek for about a month now and I can't seem to squeeze it out. It's really bothering me and I'm worried about it getting worse. What kind of surgery would be best to remove it properly? Will there be any scarring?
For proper cyst removal, surgical excision is generally the most effective and recommended approach. This involves removing the entire cyst, including its wall, which can help prevent recurrence. While some scarring is likely, modern techniques and proper aftercare can help minimize its appearance.

I've been dealing with a boil just below my waistline and have been using a warm compress three times a day. It popped yesterday and when I took the bandage off this morning, I noticed there's a white scab with some blood. Is it normal for the scab to be white, maybe because of moisture or something?
Yes, it is normal for the scab to appear white, especially after it has been covered with a bandage and exposed to moisture from the warm compress. The white color is due to the accumulation of pus and dead white blood cells at the site of the boil. To help with the healing process, you can continue applying warm compresses to the area and keep it clean. Additionally, you may consider using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection.

So, I'm a 32-year-old guy and a couple of days ago, my finger got pinched in a door. It was just a tiny part of the skin, so I didn't pay much attention at the time. But then yesterday, I noticed this black spot on that same part of my finger, like under the skin. Do you think it could be a blood clot or is there something else going on here?
Yes, it is smashed finger and black spot caused by blood clot. It will be absorbed with time.
