How is persistent pigmentation and melasma treated?
Hi doctor,
I have pigmentation with dark spots and melasma on my face for the past 16 years. I have taken a lot of medication and consulted many dermatologists. But there is no relief. My past medications are Claripex, Dermaclean, Cybele scagel, Sangobian, Evion, Glutamax, Colophylum, Lycopodium, and much more. I have used many creams to get cured. But they did not help me.

What could be causing a persistent rash on the penis head?
Hello doctor,
I have a rash on my penis head, it does not hurt much and it does not look severe, but it is uncomfortable and I feel very sensitive now and also it stings when I urinate but not always. Because of Covid-19 I do not want to visit a doctor, so I browsed the internet and I am afraid it is not getting better as it is. It has been a month now and it comes and goes. I took Zithromax for three days and Locoid lipocream but nothing happened. After one week, I am taking Zithromax and I took Augmentin 1 g every 12 hours for one week and Fucicort cream, it got better but the skin felt very sensitive and stinginess inside shaft started. I stopped Fucicort now and using Elica-M at night and just vaseline in the morning for three days now as I am afraid to get worse. It does not hurt much but I still have slight redness and stinginess on the outside.

Does wine delay the healing after microneedling?
Hello doctor,
My question is, when can I drink more than two glasses of wine a day or a whole bottle without it hindering the healing process after my dermapen session of micro needling? And also, because I was occasionally drinking a few bottles of beer after I had gotten it done, does that mean my healing time has to be longer than six weeks? By the way, I did my acne scar regions with 2.00 mm needles.

What are the ways to lighten a dark skin tone without damaging it?
Hi doctor,
I just wanted to find out is it possible to lighten a dark skin tone without damaging it? If so could this be done at home or at a dermatologist? Would you recommend a teenager getting it? When I was younger I had a light skin tone but due to alot of swimming and sun exposure I damaged it and got dark, is it possible to get the same skin tone I had? I am a female, 18.
