So, I'm a 32-year-old guy and a couple of days ago, my finger got pinched in a door. It was just a tiny part of the skin, so I didn't pay much attention at the time. But then yesterday, I noticed this black spot on that same part of my finger, like under the skin. Do you think it could be a blood clot or is there something else going on here?

Yes, it is smashed finger and black spot caused by blood clot. It will be absorbed with time.

View allI'm really worried because after I stopped using this cream that I had been applying for a year, my skin's condition has worsened. It's become darker, and I'm dealing with acne and pigmentation, especially around my mouth. Do you think visiting a dermatologist can help me get my skin back to normal and possibly improve my complexion?
I understand your concern about your skin damage after stopping the cream. Damage Reversal and Skin Improvement 1. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment to discuss your skin concerns and determine the best course of treatment. 2. Skin analysis: A dermatologist will analyze your skin to identify underlying issues, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or skin texture. 3. Personalized treatment plan: Based on the analysis, the dermatologist will create a customized treatment plan to address your specific skin concerns. Treatment Options 1. Topical treatments: Creams, serums, or gels containing ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, or niacinamide can help improve skin texture, reduce acne, and fade hyperpigmentation. 2. Chemical peels: A solution is applied to remove the top layers of skin, revealing smoother skin and reducing hyperpigmentation. 3. Microdermabrasion or microneedling: Non-invasive exfoliating treatments that help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote collagen production. 4. Laser therapy: Targets specific skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, acne, or skin texture. Fairness and Skin Brightening 1. Skin brightening treatments: Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy can help reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten the skin. 2. Topical skin brighteners: Creams or serums containing ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or licorice extract can help fade hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone. Patience and Realistic Expectations 1. Treatment duration: Depending on the treatment plan, it may take several months to a year or more to see noticeable improvements.

I'm using clear gel on my face and usually leave it on for about an hour. Does that sound effective, or should I be leaving it on for longer to see better results?
Keeping a clear gel on your face for an hour can be effective, but for optimal results, it is recommended to keep it on for at least 2-3 hours. This allows the active ingredients in the gel to penetrate the skin and work effectively. Make sure to follow the instructions on the product label for the best results.

I've been feeling this weird pin prick sensation on the sole of my foot whenever I walk or put pressure on my toe. It's not like a bunch of needles, just feels like one sharp point. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
Although it is unlikely that these are symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, it is advisable to have your blood sugar values tested for confirmation. It is best to consult a Dermatologist for further evaluation.
