I'm dealing with acne and my doctor recommended I use Sebum Clear N Gel. But now my skin, especially my hands, are getting darker. Could you suggest something that might help improve my skin tone without any side effects?

View allI've noticed some black spots on my buttocks and I'm wondering what could be causing them. Do you think they'll fade away on their own, or is there something I should do? If there's a cream that might help reduce them, could you let me know what it is?
could be due to post inflamation You can use a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid to exfoliate the skin. However, be gentle, as over-exfoliation can make pigmentation worse.You can use skin-lightening creams that contain ingredients like: Niacinamide: Helps lighten dark spots and even out skin tone. Vitamin C: Reduces pigmentation and brightens the skin. Hydroquinone: A bleaching agent that can help fade dark spots over time (but should be used with caution and under dermatological supervision). Alpha Arbutin: A mild skin lightener that reduces dark spots.

I'm really struggling with tinea corporis for the past year. I've tried lots of different medicines, and sometimes they help for a little while, but then the problem just comes right back. I'm getting frustrated and worried. Do you have any advice on what I can do to finally get rid of this for good?
To address this, I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% and Betamethasone 0.05%. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected area twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Remember to maintain good hygiene practices and avoid sharing personal items to prevent reinfection.

I'm really worried about this itchy groin I've had for the past couple of years. I tried using clobenategm last month for about ten days, and it seemed to clear up, but then the itch came back worse and started burning too! Now, I'm trying candidb clotrimazole gel but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? I'm really desperate for a solution.
