I'm wondering how many sessions it would take for me to achieve an even skin tone, as my face is a bit darker than my neck. Also, could you give me a rough idea of how much one injection would cost?

To achieve an even skin tone, the number of sessions required can vary depending on individual skin types and concerns. Typically, 4-6 sessions of chemical peels or laser treatment, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, may be needed to attain desired results. As for the cost, it's difficult to provide an exact estimate without knowing the specific treatment and location, but on average, a session can range from 1,500 to 5,000 or more. It's best to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance and pricing.

I'm noticing some red rashes on the head of my penis that have been there for a few days. I've been cleaning it with lukewarm water and Dettol. Is this something I should be worried about?

The red rashes on your penis head could be a fungal or bacterial infection, allergic reaction, or irritation from using harsh soap like Dettol; discontinue using Dettol and instead clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water, and consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist for proper evaluation and treatment to rule out conditions like balanitis.
