I'm a 28-year-old male with a dark skin tone, and I'm looking to lighten my complexion by two shades. I've read online about some medicines that could help with this, but I'm concerned about potential side effects. Is there a treatment you would recommend that's both safe and effective?

Hey, so I've been dealing with this acne hyperpigmentation and scars issue, and back in February, a dermatologist gave me two creamsdepiwhite and cutisoftfor 20 days. But I kind of messed up by not going back for a follow-up and just kept using them for about seven months. When I finally went back, he said my skin got darker and extra sensitive, leading to more pimples. Now he's given me kozimax and glocin gel. I'm really curious if glocin gel helps fade scars or if it just targets the bacteria. Also, is having regular acne something that could hint at liver damage?
