Question

So I've been using this Alpha Arbutin serum for almost 78 days now to help with pigmentation and dark spots around my lips. It's from this brand called The Minimalist. I usually get breakouts now and then, but I've noticed since using it, I'm getting more red pimples with white stuff inside. Do you think the serum could be causing this? Or is it just a coincidence? I'm just really curious if I should stop using it or if there might be another cause.

Question

I'm 23 now and have had this small lesion on one side of my scrotum since I was 14. Occasionally, I notice some black colored dead skin coming off it. I looked it up online, and it seems like it might be angiokeratoma. It's not painful, but I'm worried because it seems to be spreading slowly. Should I be concerned or get it checked out?

Question

I'm thinking about starting cod liver oil capsules 'cause I've heard it does wonders for the skin and hair. But before I jump in, I'd love to know more about the benefits and any side effects I should be aware of. Also, any advice on the right dosage and when's the best time to take them?
