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.

View allI've been dealing with this persistent eczema on my upper lip that only seems to go away when I take Allegra for five days. But as soon as I stop, it comes right back. Is there anything else I can try that might offer a more permanent solution? I'm really worried it won't improve long-term, and I'm curious why the Allegra works but only temporarily.
You can try using a topical corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% on the affected area to reduce inflammation and itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for Allegra and consult with your doctor if you have any concerns.

I'm noticing that my lower lip is usually pink, or sometimes even red, but my upper lip is much darker and doesn't match the lower one at all. It's kinda annoying, and I'm wondering what might be causing this difference. Can you suggest what I could do about it?
To help lighten the color of your upper lip, you can try using a lip lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer of the cream on your upper lip once or twice a day. Additionally, using a lip balm with SPF can help protect your lips from further darkening due to sun exposure.
