I'm really concerned because I have these white birthmarks that are spreading slowly, and I feel like they're making me look unattractive. My skin is of medium complexion, and I'm thinking about whitening my entire body. Can anyone tell me how long that might take if I want to avoid surgery? And what's the average cost for doing something like this?

I'm noticing some black spots on my face and a doctor recommended I try using dermiford cream. I'm really curious if this is the right thing to do for my skin. Do you think it's okay to use it?

Continue dermiford cream for atleast 3 weeks, any side-effects dermat opinion is advised.

I recently started experiencing a warm sensation on my left foot's dorsal side, and it comes and goes really quickly. It just started happening after I cleaned my bathroom with hypochlorite. I've never had this feeling until I did the cleaning, and it was my first time doing it myself. Could the chemical exposure be causing this? I'm a bit worried, and Id really like to understand what might be going on.
