My skin has been noticeably darker ever since I had typhoid about five years ago. I recently did a blood test, and everything came back normal, but my skin tone just seems to keep getting darker. It's really worrying me, and I'm trying to understand why this is happening and what I can do about it. Could there be some underlying issue that's causing this, even if my blood work looks fine?

I'm really struggling with ingrown hairs every time I shave or use any hair removal method. It's so tough trying to get rid of them, and on top of that, I've got these strawberry legs. Even after waxing, my pores still show up, and it's been like this for years. I'm super embarrassed about how my legs look. I live in Bangalore and would really appreciate any advice you have. What can I do to improve this situation?

I've got some extra skin on my face, kind of like warts, and I tried using a mix of limechuna and washing powder on it. Now my face feels burned and I've got these marks left behind. Can you suggest any solutions to help get rid of these burn marks? I'm really worried about how my face looks.
