I'm noticing some black spots under my armpits lately and I'm not sure what's causing them. Could this be some kind of allergic reaction? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance. What do you think it could be?

These black spots could be due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance or diabetes. I recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin, such as Melalite Forte cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, maintaining good blood sugar control through diet and exercise can also help improve these spots.

I'm hoping to get some advice on using erytop cream for my acne. Should I be applying it in the morning or at night? Also, I'm 22 and just a bit concerned about any side effects if I use it for a long time. What's your take on that?

For acne treatment with Erytop cream, it is usually recommended to apply it at night before bedtime. Cleanse your face before applying a thin layer of Erytop cream on the affected areas. As for long term use, Erytop cream may cause side effects such as dryness, redness, peeling, or irritation of the skin. It is important to use a good moisturizer and sunscreen during the day while using Erytop cream to minimize these side effects.
