Hello,

Ripped muscle healing depends on the the type of injury and the degree of muscle affected. Recovery may require a time period of 6 weeks to 6 months. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP and get treated, you will be given conservative treatment and physical therapy. Surgery may be recommended by the treating doctor only when needed.

You are experiencing sudden lightening of the complexion on the hands and face. It commonly occurs due to vitiligo, albinism- a genetic condition, pityriasis alba, lichen sclerosis, etc. Get clinically examined by a dermatologist, get the required skin tests and investigations done, you will be treated accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
