I'm a 28-year-old guy with dark skin, and I've noticed a lot of blackish spots all over my body. I've tried some home remedies to get a lighter skin tone, but nothing seems to be working. What are some skin-whitening tips for men like me? Will these changes be permanent? How long does it usually take to see results?

I've got these itchy rashes on my face from a reaction to a cream I used, and even though I stopped using it, the rash keeps coming back. My doctor had me try betamethasone cream, and it helps while I'm using it, but as soon as I stop, the rash returns. What do you think is causing this, and is there anything else I can do to stop it from coming back for good?
