I'm a 31-year-old woman from India, and I'm getting married in just two months. I'm really worried about some skin issues. I've got dark underarms and there's some kind of black color or pigmentation around my private parts and inner thighs. I don't know if it's an allergy or something else. Also, I have boil marks on my bums. And my lips, which used to be pink, are starting to get dark from the lower side and the middle. Can you recommend any cream or tablets that might help me clear these up quickly?

I'm struggling with acne and dark spots on my face. Over the years, I've tried many medicines, but they only seem to help as long as I'm taking them. Once I finish the course, after a month or so, the same issues pop back up. Back in 2012, my doctor prescribed some medicines, and then again in 2013, I was recommended Zeethrom 500 mg, Saslic face wash, Resoten 20 mg, and Calene gel. By 2014, the prescription included Resoten 20 mg and Nioclean gel. I've been using these treatments for about three years, but I stopped taking any medicine over the past two years. Could you suggest what I should do next? Should I consider continuing with medicine or try another treatment option?
