Question

I'm African American and I've noticed my skin used to be much lighter, but over the past six years, it's gotten so dark that I can barely see myself at night. I spend most of my time indoors and rarely go out. I've tried skin bleaching products before, and they worked, but once I stop using them, my skin becomes darker again. Do you have any suggestions for lotions or treatments I could try to help with this?

I've been taking doxycycline 100mg once a day for my acne, and I'm really curious if this could lead to any hair loss. Should I be concerned about this side effect?
