I've recently had to get stitches on my forehead for a cut, and now that they're out, there's this noticeable mark left behind. I'm a bit worried and wondering if there's a way to help reduce or get rid of the scar. Could you give me some advice on what steps I might take? Maybe certain treatments or creams to consider?

View allI've been using Fourderm cream for about 10 days now and it helped reduce the itching quite a bit, but after a few days, the itching came back in the hairy area around my private parts, not on the penis. This has been happening for the last 6 months, and now I've also started feeling itchy in my armpits. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what medicine I should consider?
-It seems like a fungal infection, which can recur if not treated fully. Avoid using Fourderm long-term, as it contains steroids. Use an antifungal cream like clotrimazole twice daily for at least 2 weeks, keep the areas dry, and consult a doctor for furt

I've stopped using mometasone furoate cream for a week now, but I'm noticing these dark circle patches appearing on my skin. What can I do to get rid of these patches and clear up my skin?
You can try using a hydroquinone cream along with a good sunscreen to help lighten the dark patches on your skin. You can try using Melalite cream (hydroquinone) in the evening and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day. Make sure to apply the cream only on the dark patches and follow up with a moisturizer. Additionally, you can consider using a vitamin C serum to help brighten your skin. Remember to consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.

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.
