Oh man, I've got this sunburn on my hands and face that's left them so tanned! I used to have a pretty fair complexion and this tan's really changed that, making my skin look darker. What can I do to get rid of the tan and get back to my original skin tone? I'm really worried about this change.

I have a mole on my forehead that I've had since birth and I'm thinking about getting it removed. How much does the surgery usually cost and will there be a scar after? If it does leave a mark, how long until it fades? Are there any safe ways to remove it at home or is surgery the only option?

Mole removal costs ₹3,000–₹10,000; mild scar may remain and fade in months—home removal isn’t safe.

I'm really concerned about my skin tone, which is wheatish. I've tried so many creams to lighten it, but nothing seems to be working. Can you suggest any really effective creams for my face?

For improving skin complexion, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone, which is a skin-lightening agent. One option is "Melalite Forte Cream", which contains 4% hydroquinone. You can apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected areas of your face once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day is important to protect your skin from further darkening.
