I've got this black patch behind my ear that's kinda itchy, and I didnt even notice it until someone else pointed it out to me. Should I be worried about it? What could it be?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my skin. I've been using this cream for about 6 months, but I've started to notice my skin is getting really thin. Now I'm concerned about stopping it because I've heard there can be some scary side effects, like this thing they call permanent pig. Can you help me figure out the best way to stop using it without dealing with these side effects? I'm really looking for an alternative or anything that might help ease this transition.

Question

I'm really worried and could use some advice. A while back, I used this ointment called Lobate GM on my face when I had just a few pimples. I went through 2 or 3 tubes of it, hoping it would help, but my skin got way worse. I ended up seeing a dermatologist and did a treatment for six months. Now, I've still got these red marks where the pimples were and I'm not sure what to do about them. Could you give me some guidance on what might help fade these marks?

Question

I've stopped using Skinlite cream, and now my skin's gotten super dry and itchy. While I was on it, my skin was much fairer, but now it seems a bit darker. Do you have any home remedies or suggestions to help with this?
