My hand got burned by a firecracker a couple of years ago. It's healed now, but I've noticed these white and pink spots where the burn was. Should I be worried about these spots, or are they normal? Is there anything I can do to make them less noticeable?

The white and pink spots on your hand are likely a result of post-burn pigmentation changes, which can occur after the skin heals. This is common and may take time to fade or even out, but if the spots persist or cause concern, a dermatologist can offer treatments to improve the appearance.

I'm dealing with pimples that won't go away, and they're causing this reddish sensation and a bit of burning. I've heard about using RetinoA Tretinoin Cream for this, but I'm not sure if it's really good for these recurring pimples. Is it effective, or could it make the redness and burning worse? What should I expect if I start using it?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I've noticed these small circular indentations on both sides of the center of my chest, and the skin around them is kind of reddish. It feels a little weird when I breathe, but otherwise, it's not bothering me much. The itching only gets worse when I'm out in the sun. Is this something I should be worried about? What's causing it? Could it have anything to do with a condition known as "having a of 16084"?
