Question

What's the best way to change skin from dark to white medically? I've heard about laser treatments and cosmetic surgery but not sure which one works better or is safer. Are there any side effects I should know about?

It's important to understand that medically altering skin tone to become lighter is a complex issue. While laser treatments and chemical peels can be effective in lightening specific areas of hyperpigmentation, they don't fundamentally change your skin's natural color. Additionally, cosmetic surgery, particularly dermabrasion or laser resurfacing, can be used to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone but can also have risks and side effects.

I'm 26 years old and dealing with quite a bit of white hair in my beard. My doctor suggested using Altris 5 solution to help with reversing it, but I read somewhere that it's mostly effective for people under 25. Is there any truth to this? Is it possible for me to reverse my white beard with this solution?

I'm having this issue where my right buttock gets really itchy sometimes, and when I touch it, it feels like there's a mosquito bite there, even though I know it's not. The skin looks normal and isn't dry, which is confusing me. Any quick remedies or creams you can suggest to help with the itching?
