Is there a safe and affordable way to remove a mole on my nose without expensive surgery? I'm worried about the cost but also want to make sure it's done properly. What options do I have?

Removing your mole at home can be incredibly dangerous and may cause severe scarring. Mole removal creams sound in pharmacies and online stores aren't proven to work and can leave scarring. If you remove your mole, you cannot get it checked for skin cancer and reduce your chance of a life-threatening melanoma.

I want to get rid of xanthelasma around my eyes but I'm worried about surgery or laser treatments. Are there any other options that work without going under the knife or using lasers?

I'm really struggling with dark circles and marks under my eyes. I've tried all sorts of face creams, face packs, and washes, but nothing seems to help. My skin is this annoying mix of oily and combination, and it always just looks dull. Do you have any advice on tablets or creams I should try?

For dark circles and dull skin, you can try using a combination of Vitamin C serum and retinol cream. You can use a Vitamin C serum in the morning to brighten the skin and reduce dark circles, and a retinol cream at night to improve skin texture and reduce marks. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin C supplements to further boost skin health. Make sure to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer suitable for oily and combination skin to keep your skin hydrated.
