I'm having this issue with my skin where the sides of my nose get flaky after I shower. They've also started turning dark and itchy. I've been using Pears soap for a long time, like over a year, and I'm not sure if that's causing it. I went to the doctor before, and they gave me a hyperpigmentation cream, but it hasn't really helped. What do you think could be causing this, or what should I try next?

I've noticed that Cinthol soap tends to cause pimples on my skin, but whenever I try switching from Cinthol, my face seems to get darker. I'm considering using Dermadew or Dermadew Light to help lighten my skin and keep it pimple-free. Could you advise which one might be more suitable for my situation? I'm quite worried about this and would appreciate any guidance.

try with dermadew lite that could help you and also use good moisturizer for your skin to give good nourishment

I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable situation where I've got this infection in my pubic area and nearby thighs. It's turned the skin black and the itching is seriously bad. Do you think it could be some kind of fungal infection or is it something else? I'm pretty concerned and would love some advice.

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
