Does using neem face wash cause skin darkening? My skin is oily and breaks out often, so I've been trying to manage it, but I've heard neem might make my skin turn black. Is there any truth to that?

Neem Face Wash and Skin Darkening:
- Using neem face wash generally does not cause skin darkening.
- Neem has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties beneficial for oily, acne-prone skin.
-
Considerations:
- Skin Sensitivity: Some may experience irritation or allergic reactions, leading to temporary redness or uneven skin tone.
- Sun Exposure: Irritated or sensitive skin can be more prone to sun damage, potentially causing darkening. Use sunscreen daily.
- Product Formulation: Other ingredients or usage frequency might affect your skin differently.
-
Recommendation:
- If you notice unusual darkening or irritation, stop using the product and consult a dermatologist. Neem is generally safe when used appropriately.

I'm dealing with some dry and peeling skin on my scrotum, and it seems to be spreading. I've been using ketoconazole cream, but it isn't really helping. What could be going on here, and should I try a different treatment or see a doctor?
Lulican cream for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
