Question 1

oral lachen planus dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: May increase your risk for developing squamous cell carcinoma from being chronically inflamed.  May also be seen more commonly in patients with hepatitis C so get checked.  I would see a doctor, get a little steroid cream such as Lidex (fluocinonide) gel to reduce the inflammation, get your blood tested, and get regular oral exams looking for non-healing ulcers or nodules.  It is not contagious so kiss away.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Freckles: There are medications that can lighten your freckles. They are prescription only.  Please see your primary doctor or dermatologist.

Question 3

my underarms are dark how can i lighten them or fix this?

Accepted Answer

Need to see a doctor: Darkening of the armpits skin can be due to a hormonal imbalance, so a visit to a primary care doctor or an endocrinologist is needed to evaluate and perhaps check some hormone levels. There may be a relationship to pre-diabetes. Sometimes, there is no disorder, but the darkening is instead runs in the family. If it is familial, it will be very difficult to change the coloring.

Question 5

how do i lighten my skin?

Accepted Answer

Hydroquinone is a common bleaching substance and retinoids (prescription meds or otc compounds) can also cause some lightening. Your dermatologist can help you find out what might be best for you.

Question 6

how do i lighten my rough tan skin ?

Accepted Answer

Lighten and Smooth: The first thing to do would involve exfoliation to get the dead surface skin cells off and to increase epidermal turnover.  Tretinoin or retin a (tretinoin) at appropriate doses is an excellent way to do this.  As the skin is exfoliated and "trained" to turn over rapidly it probably will get lighter on its own.  If not a medication called hydroquinone can decrease pigmentation in the skin.

Question 7

how to lighten your skin after shaving?

Accepted Answer

Why: I do not understand why you would want to lighten your skin after shaving. You need to be more explicit as to your reason.

Question 8

is it possible to listen to music too much?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: If the music relaxes or interests you or excites you then there is no harm in it.  If the listening distracts you from doing other important things in your life than you might be overdoing it.  Hopefully it is not too loud which can affect your hearing and disturb the neighbors.
