I'm worried about some sort of skin infection I'm experiencing. I've got these ring-shaped patches appearing all over my skin. It started on my upper body, like my chest, back, and shoulders, but now it's spreading to my lower back and upper legs. Could you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what I should do next? Its getting pretty concerning.

I've been struggling with really bad tanning on my forehead for a while now. I've tried a bunch of things like kojic acid creams, Sabiglow, and I've even had a yellow peel done. I've also been taking Pinodin G for a couple of months. Right now, I'm using Tazret cream as recommended by my dermatologist, but honestly, I haven't noticed any difference. I work from home, so I'm not out in the sun much, but I still apply a light sunscreen. Can you suggest any effective anti-tanning creams, scrubs, or face packs? I'm really looking for something that works.
