I'm dealing with this recurring skin infection on my upper thighs. It shows up as a red, wet area and itches a lot. Even after using medical soap, it leaves behind these acne-like patches with blood marks. I'm really hoping for a permanent solution. Any advice on what could help?

I've been dealing with this birthmark on my left cheek and after six rounds of laser treatment, it hasn't really lightened. I'm wondering if there are other ways to lighten birthmarks? Are there any creams or meds you'd recommend?

I'm using Ethiglo face wash for about 20 days now because I'm hoping to lighten my skin tone, but I haven't noticed any changes yet. Could you recommend a good face wash for oily skin? And maybe a cream that would help too? Just trying to get the right products.

I've been working as an assistant professor at an engineering college, and I've been using a skin cream called My Fair for about two months. But just last week, I went to my village and spent a lot of time working under the sun in the fields. This made my skin turn extremely dark. My friend, who recommended the cream, said I should have used sunscreen when going out. Thankfully, my skin's back to normal with the same cream, but I'm really troubled by what happened. Can you give me some advice on how to prevent this in the future and how to deal with this dependency on the cream? Id really appreciate some guidance.
