Can I use Triben B cream to lighten the marks left behind after recovering from a fungal infection? I've been using Clobetamil G as my doctor prescribed, but I'm curious if Triben B might help with the discoloration or marks. What do you think?

View allI've been using Getlite cream with hydroquinone and mometasone for the last two years. Now my skin's gone really white, but when I try to stop using the cream, my skin gets darker, even worse than before. Im worried its not good to keep using it long-term because of potential problems. I'm really hoping to stop using this cream. How can I wean off of it and keep my skin looking healthy without going back to how it was? A neighbor, who's a pharmacist, recommended it, but I'm not sure what to do. Any advice on maintaining my skins glow once I stop this cream?

I've been dealing with jock itch and these white itching patches in my jock area for over a year now. Ive tried using antifungal powder, but it doesnt seem to work. Is there something else I can do to get relief from this? Im really worried its not going away, and I just dont know what to try next. Could there be another underlying issue causing this?
Persistent jock itch and white patches can be frustrating. Since antifungal powder hasn't worked, consider: 1. _Consult a dermatologist_: Get a proper diagnosis and guidance. 2. _Try antifungal creams_: Clotrimazole, miconazole, or terbinafine might be more effective. 3. _Improve hygiene_: Wash the area with soap and water, dry thoroughly, and wear breathable clothing. 4. _Tea tree oil_: Mix a few drops with a carrier oil (coconut or olive) and apply to the affected area.

I've noticed some black pigmented spots on my breast and between them, and they seem to be slowly getting bigger. Initially, it was just a small black spot, but now it's growing into these branch-like patterns. What might be causing this, and how should I approach getting it checked out?
Consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. It is important to rule out any serious conditions.
