My upper body is tan while my lower body is much fairer can skin whitening treatments even out my skin tone? I've heard it involves chemicals but I'm not sure how it works or if it's safe. Is it possible to lighten just the darker areas to match the rest?

Yes, skin whitening treatments can potentially even out your skin tone by lightening the darker areas. However, the effectiveness and permanence of these treatments vary, and it's crucial to manage expectations and understand potential risk

I've noticed some cut marks on my wrist that have turned quite dark and are looking pretty bad. I'm really concerned and wondering if there's anything I can do to help reduce these scars or lighten them up. It's really affecting how I feel about my appearance. Can you offer any advice or treatments that might work?
For treating dark and unsightly scars on your wrist, you can use a silicone gel such as Dermatix Ultra. Apply a thin layer of the gel on the scar twice daily. Additionally, you can also consider using a scar lightening cream like Mederma. Apply the cream on the scar once daily. Remember to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.

I'm noticing a keloid on my chest, but I haven't had any injuries or surgeries before. It doesn't hurt, but I'm curious if it's something that's considered healed or if it's something I should be concerned about. Could you give me some insight into this?
Keloids are stubborn and usually better not to touch them,if it is cosmetically bothering you visit Plastic Surgeon for appropriate management
