I'm noticing some black patches forming on my forehead and my skin tone seems to be getting darker with each day. I used to have a fair complexion, but now my face looks much darker. What could be causing this change, and how should I address it?

View allCan I use Betnovate-C cream to help with pimples and scars on my oily skin? I'm a bit worried because my skin tends to get really greasy, and I'm not sure if this would help or just make things worse. What would you recommend?
Betnovate is a steroid cream and should not be used for pimples or the marks caused by them

I've been using Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne, but my skin's really irritated after applying it. I know the irritation might go away after a few weeks, but now I've got this dark line on one side of my lip that isn't fading. Do you think this will become a permanent black patch or is it likely to disappear on its own?
It's likely a side effect of the deriva bpo gel known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur as a result of skin irritation or inflammation. In most cases, this dark patch should fade over time once you stop using the gel. To help speed up the process, you can try using a topical skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid.

I have pigmented skin and I'm really looking for a good oil-free pigmentation cream to use at night. Do you have any suggestions?
For pigmented skin, consider using oil-free, non-comedogenic night creams containing ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, licorice extract, or kojic acid, such as Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Night Moisturizer, Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream, or La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Eye Cream, but always patch test and consult a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.
