The skin appears darker or more pigmented usually after the first session of Q-switch laser treatment for hyperpigmentation. The treatment causes a temporary inflammation in the skin, which increases melanin production and darkens of the skin. 
Talk to your dermatalogist as they can adjust the treatment parameters or suggest alternative treatment options based on your skin type and concerns.

Under legs abscess problem plz suggestions any tube medicine

Male | 26

This is often caused by a bacterial infection in a hair follicle or sweat gland which gets infected. To heal it, you may need to consult a dermatologist. After removing it, they may also use an antibiotic cream or pills to get away from the infection. Please clean the area carefully and do not press or attempt to rupture the abscess yourself.

Lipomas are the benign, slow growing tumors of fat tissues. Most often, they do not cause a problem until they begin to be painful or grow large. Dermatologist can diagnose and treat lipomas. Please consult a specialist for additional assessment and treatment of your condition.

I am a 22 year old female, my breasts have become more pale and sensitive as of late, and am unsure why.

Female | 22

Breasts changing color and fe­eling more sensitive­ is common. This could happen due to hormones, irritate­d skin, or blood flow changes. Look for other issues like­ pain or lumps too. If changes last or worry you, talk to a doctor for a checkup.

I have oily skin and acne marks and acne on my forehead And my face , brown spot in my face

Female | 27

You may have a combination of shiny skin, hyperpigmentation, pimples on your forehead, and spots on your cheeks. Overactive oil glands are a magnet for pimples which consecutively leave dark marks. Stress, hormones, and your diet could all contribute to making it severe. Tanning or irritating your skin might be responsible for brown spots. To fix your issue, gently clean it every day using cleansing products; you can get some over-the-counter drugs meant for treating acne then apply them as instructed, and protect it against the sun by wearing sunscreen all the time.

Feeling itching on Back of my palm and fingers during midnight between 2 to 5am . Unable to sleep because of that .

Male | 43

This may happen due to many reasons, such as dry skin, eczema or allergies and contact dermatitis. Itch sensations may also be heightened at night due to the natural circadian rhythm of the body. It is advised to apply a hypoallergenic moisturizer before going to bed, which can mitigate symptoms of dry skin. It is possible to manage allergic reactions by identifying potential triggers such as certain soaps or fabrics and avoiding them. If chronic or aggravating, it is so recommended to consult a dermatologist for an in-depth evaluation and tailored treatment options targeting the true cause of nighttime scratch.

Age-41yrs. From last 3 years suffering from a black patch all around my lips, specially below the lips on both sides. I had visited a doctor there who detected the problem to be Perical pig / Melasma Pg as written in the prescription. Treated me with the following medicines For the 1st month- Cetaphil gentle cleanser, Flutivate E cream alternate night and Kojic cream once in a day. Next visit I was advised to use Kojiglo cream once daily, Eukroma+Flutivate E cream on the patches twice a week. But I did not find any difference. I had informed the doctor that I cannot afford a very costly treatment, but on her assurance during my third visit I was applied Glycocil pack but yet felt no difference. Then was asked to use Dermadew Caloe lotion every day and Azideenz 10% gel once a day, this gel made my skin rough, when complained she advised me to use only Dermadew lotion day and night daily. My face is 2 to 3 shades darker than my body color. What to do now to get rid of this patch

Female | 41

Without a proper evaluation and diagnosis, I can't say. But normally, suggested treatments for perical pigmentation include topical medications and laser treatments and I do not recommend flutivate cream for pigmentation. However, based on your individual condition, the doctor will recommend the best treatment for you.

I am 8 year old and have some kind of pimples on my elbow. First it was only on one hand but now it is increasing on the other hand also.

Male | 8

You may have a skin disease known as eczema. Eczema is a skin condition that develops itchy red lumps on the affected area. This case is common in children of your age. The reasons could be the problems of dry skin and allergic reactions. Use moisturizing lotion to keep your skin soft and stop it from itching. Sometimes the physician might prescribe a specific cream to help you with the itch.
