I'm dealing with this skin issue where I get these dark patches and a lot of itching all over my body. Sometimes it gets so bad that I end up scratching till I bleed. It's gotten really concerning because my bum has turned completely dark. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it?

I'm feeling pretty worried about these acne marks on my nose. I've been using Aziclear serum like my dermatologist suggested, but it's been over 6 weeks and I haven't noticed much change. The mark has lightened just a little bit, but now it feels even more obvious because of its size. My skin is generally dry, and I've got blackheads and bumps mostly just on my nose. Do you have any advice on what I could do or should I consider something else?

There are many advanced treatment modalities available you can try with co2 laser or other perfusion techniques for a good result
