As per recommendations tatoos done at a good places won't cause cancers. But yes off course tatooing can cause cancer. But just plain nevus can rarely leads to cancers like squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas.
I have been having pigmentation on my forehead and cheeks for about 12 years now. Have tried several creams, peels, dermabrasion etc but nothing has worked. In fact it seems to be darker now. No doctor has suggested any blood tests or hormone tests. Could this be a problem due to hormones if so can it be treated with medications. Is there no solution for this problem?

I am a 29 year old Male from Karnataka. I was advised Comselite by a Doc, used it for 2 years, stopped using it like 6 months back and suddenly developed rash skin, burning sensation. After a period of time my skin has become normal, but it has turned way too darker, then again went to see a Doc, he suggested Kojovit for fair complexion, it is not helping either now. Not the Doc wants me to undergo some Laser Treatments which can lighten the skin color. How effective can this Laser procedure be? How safe it is? Doc has suggested me to go for two sittings of laster treatment. I need a clear fairer skin, because now it's my face color which is darker, otherwise my body color is much lighter. Want to match face color with rest of my body without any side-effects
Thanks in anticipation.

Recent questions on Dermabrasion
MD I have had deep cysts in my underarms and upper inner thigh area. They are often painful and drain either by pressure or on their own. They typically appear right before I menstruate. I have a cream to apply for treatment but I am wondering if I can get microdermabrasion to help with the discoloration from scarring and for just a smoother unclogged underarm.
MD My query is to a dermatologist. My Name is Mrs. Nair, age- 38 years, female. My problem is listed below:
In 2006 April I started having hyper pigmentation on my face, neck and upper back. I consulted a specialist at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore and underwent blood test. As per the blood test my IGE (immunoglobin E) was 460, high above normal. Therefore, I underwent a patch test and the result of the patch test said I was allergic to PPD and some parabens. So my problem was diagnosed as hyper pigmentation due to contact dermatitis. I had used hair colour since February 2006 and as per this result I completely stopped using the same. I underwent chemical peeling, micro dermabrasion and laser treatment subsequently. My facial skin improved a bit, but not much. I had to shift to Egypt on official assignment and here again I consulted two dermatologists. They suggested a skin biopsy for Macular Amyloidosis and a biopsy was done. As per the biopsy report "bundles of collegen found in the dermis and slightly reactive to congo red staining. diagnosis: Amyloidosis."I do not have any itching on the skin except sometimes which i take as due to dryness. Can you please confirm what is my condition? Is there any treatment for this? I would really be grateful for your reply as I cannot consult a doctor from India face to face now as I am still in Egypt.
