My skin seems to tan super quickly, even when I use high SPF sunscreen. I get that it's just my skin's way of protecting itself from the sun. But is there any way I can get rid of this tan completely? Would love any effective methods you might have!

View allI'm really worried about the effects of pollution on my skin. I've been noticing that my skin is darkening really fast, and I'm thinking about using salon detan and bleach treatments to help with it. Are these treatments actually effective, or could they potentially be harmful to my skin in the long run? I'm looking for some advice on what might be the best way to handle this issue.
Detan and bleach treatments are popular salon services aimed at reducing skin darkening and hyperpigmentation. However, it's essential to weigh their effectiveness against potential risks. Detan Treatment Detan treatments typically involve a combination of exfoliating agents, like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), and brightening agents, such as vitamin C or licorice extract. These treatments can help: 1. Exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. 2. Reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots. 3. Improve skin texture and tone. However, detan treatments may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with sensitive skin. Potential side effects include: 1. Skin irritation or redness 2. Dryness or flakiness 3. Increased sun sensitivity Bleach Treatment Bleach treatments, on the other hand, involve the application of a strong chemical agent to lighten the skin. These treatments can be harsh and may lead to: 1. Skin irritation, redness, or burns 2. Dryness, flakiness, or skin cracking 3. Increased risk of infections or scarring 4. Uneven skin tone or patchiness It's essential to note that bleach treatments can be damaging, especially if done frequently or without proper care. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends avoiding bleach treatments altogether.

I recently had a tumble off my bike and now I've got these open wounds on my palms and knees, about the size of a coin. I've been using soframycin skin cream on them, but I've noticed it forms a dried mass with blood that covers the wound and it really hurts when it comes off. I'm wondering if I should switch to wokadine ointment instead. Any thoughts?
I can understand your concern. I hope you are not in too much pain. You have to clean the would with warm water and with betadine solution. After that apply mupirocin ointment which is available by tradenames like t-bact, b-bact, i-bact, or mupi ointment. After that leave tge wound open. Apply a thin layer over the wound.

I've got these small itchy bumps in my pubic area that keep spreading and look really bad. They don't cause major issues besides the itching, but I'm worried about how they're multiplying. Could you recommend any creams or meds to make them fade or go away? I'd prefer not to do surgery right now.
Itchy, spreading bumps in the pubic area could be due to various reasons, ranging from simple skin irritations to infections. While you can try some over-the-counter treatments, it's best to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if the bumps are spreading or cause significant discomfort.
