I'm 21 and I'm really struggling with a lot of pimples and acne right now, which I think might be because of my body having too much internal heat. They're popping up around my nose, near my lips, on my forehead, and cheeks. The ones on my forehead are especially frustrating because they swell up but dont really have any seed or pus in them. Any advice on what might be causing this or how I can treat it?

I've been noticing these dark spots on my upper body, like on my shoulders, upper chest, under my arms, upper back, and even on top of my arms. It itches a lot whenever I start sweating. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what's causing this. Could it be something serious or is it a common skin issue? What's the best way to deal with this itchiness and the spots?

Could be a condition called Tinea Versicolor. This is a fungal infection of the skin that can result in discolored patches. You can use over-the-counter antifungal creams such as Clotrimazole cream applied twice daily for 2-4 weeks. In severe cases, oral antifungal medications like Fluconazole may be prescribed by a doctor. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid excessive sweating.
