I'm dealing with some black patches around my chin, right below my mouth, and near my nose and lips. They sometimes peel off, leaving dry skin, but right now they're just dark spots. I was told by a dermatologist a year ago that it might be seborrheic melanosis, but the treatment she suggested didn't work, and she mentioned it can't be treated permanently. It had lightened up a bit, but now it's dark again. Is there any way to treat this permanently?

I've been using the Himalaya neem face pack and every time I apply it, my skin burns. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

After applying Himalaya Neem Face Pack, if you experience a burning sensation, it could be due to sensitivity to one of the ingredients in the face pack. I recommend trying a patch test before applying it to your face next time. If the burning sensation persists, you can try using a soothing cream like Calamine lotion to calm the irritation.
