Recently had hand surgery and there's still a mark left from it. I've been using hexilak gel for about two months now but it doesn't seem to be fading. Is this normal or should I try something else?

It’s normal to have some scarring after hand surgery. If the scar isn’t fading, you might want to try silicone gel sheets or corticosteroid injections. Consult with your surgeon for other scar treatment options if necessary.

View allSo, I was told by a doctor to try using the Biluma cream on my dark lips every night, but honestly, I haven't noticed any changes. I'm a bit concerned about what else I can do now to help with this issue. Any suggestions or different treatments you think could work better?
In this case, you can try using a different cream called Melalite XL cream. Apply a thin layer on your lips every night before bedtime. Additionally, make sure to use a lip balm with SPF during the day to protect your lips from further darkening.

I've noticed this small lump, kind of pea-sized, under the skin on my right butt cheek, right where it connects with my thigh. It's pretty hard to the touch and really painful, especially when I sit. There's also some dark red-ish discoloration on the skin. Do you think this is anything serious or could it be a cyst or something else?
It sounds like you might have a painful bump, possibly an ingrown hair, cyst, or a localized infection. Its best to avoid pressing on it. Keep the area clean, and apply warm compresses to reduce pain and swelling. If the bump doesnt improve or worsens, consider seeing a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with cracked skin in my groin area, and I remember using this cream before that felt cool when applied and it cleared up the problem in just two days. Can you recommend any similar treatments or creams that might help? Im a bit worried and would appreciate your advice!
It sounds like you may have had a fungal infection in the groin region. A cream that provides a cooling sensation and helps with fungal infections is Clotrimazole cream. Visit a Dermatologist to get a prescription.
