My skin tone is dusky and I've been thinking about lightening it for personal reasons. Are there any permanent solutions or surgeries for this? I'd like to know more about the procedure, how it works, and what the recovery time would be.

Laser therapy uses light to make skin look better. It's a great way to get a brighter, even skin tone. Always work with a skilled dermatologist for the best results.

Question

I've been wondering if the fact that I masturbate twice a week could be impacting my male pattern baldness. Should I be worried that my habit is making my hair loss worse or is it just a myth?

I've noticed my skin is getting darker, and I've got these patches with hard, dry areas. I was told it might be macular amyloidosis, so a doctor prescribed glutathione pills and some creams, but I didn't see any improvement and stopped. I'm really worried because I'm not sure if there's a permanent solution to this. Is there a more effective treatment out there?

Question

I'm really struggling with this skin issue that's been bothering me since I was thirteen. I have this mole that's the same color as my skin, which I tried treating with baking soda, but that was too awkward to keep up with, so I just covered it with a bandage. Eventually, it fell off, but now there's another oneit's bigger and swollen, around 2 cm on my jaw. I've been trying homeopathic medicine which seems to be helping a bit with the swelling, but it's still there. A doctor suggested laser treatment, but I'm really scared of that. I've been using coconut oil as a home remedy, but I'm concerned about the scar it might leave. Could you advise on any natural treatment options that might help with both the mole and its scar?
