I'm really worried because I've been using a cream with hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone for nearly two years. When I stopped, my face turned really dark, almost black, and its been like this for the last 67 months. The rest of my body looks normal, so it's like my face doesn't match at all. I'm just wondering if this darkness will go away on its own if I leave it alone, or am I stuck like this? I'm seriously concerned about this and need some advice.

Question

I've recently started using Lakme Perfect Radiance face wash, and now I'm breaking out with pimples and whiteheads all over my face. What should I do?

I recently shaved my head, something I haven't done since childhood, and now I'm seeing these white patches all over my scalp. It's really gross and embarrassing. I've had dandruff issues before, but this looks different. What could this be, and how can I get rid of it permanently? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've been seeing this vertical brown line on my thumb for a few months now. Should I get it checked out?
