I've noticed a dark spot on my nose and mouth, and I'm trying to figure out what's causing it. Could it be related to dandruff or maybe whiteheads on my nose? I'm really curious to understand why this is happening and how I might be able to manage it. Any advice would be really helpful.

To control dark spots on your nose and mouth, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, retinoids, and corticosteroids. Additionally, using sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the spots. It is also important to maintain a good skincare routine, including gentle cleansing and exfoliation. For dandruff or whiteheads on the nose, you can use anti-dandruff shampoos containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. For whiteheads, topical treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can be effective. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and instructions provided on the product packaging.

I'm really confused about my skincare routine. I've been using Sabi glow skin lite for the last three months, but now my doctor says I should stop and switch to just sunscreen and moisturizer. I'm pretty sure if I skip those creams for even a couple of days, the black spots will come back. I've been seeing doctors for over four years about this. Will this ever get better? How long will it take to see some real improvement? I'm just so frustrated with this whole situation.

continue medications as advised by the dermatologist.
