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 wash my hair daily with water only?
Yes, there is no harm in washing hair daily with plain treated water but prefer cold water. You need to check for excess chlorine or bleach in water which may cause dryness and split ends on repeated exposure.

I've been using Dremz ultra cream for post-inflammatory pigmentation for about two weeks now. I'm wondering if it's okay to keep using it for a longer period of time, and how would I know when to stop? Also, are there any side effects if I suddenly stop using it? Could you explain all this to me in detail?
Dremz Ultra cream, containing ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, and niacinamide, is typically used for 2-3 months to address post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH); using it for an extended period may lead to skin irritation, dryness, or increased sensitivity; to avoid rebound hyperpigmentation, gradual tapering of the cream is recommended when stopping, such as reducing frequency or switching to a maintenance product, and side effects from sudden cessation are unlikely, but may include mild skin irritation or recurrence of PIH.

I've noticed a couple of small black spots on my scrotum that are about the size of a pimple. I'm really worried because I don't know what these could be. It's a bit embarrassing to talk about, but I recently shaved down there and it even bled from one of the spots. It healed but then the spot formed again. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Possible Causes* 1. *Ingrown hairs*: Shaving can cause hairs to become trapped, leading to inflammation, bleeding, and scarring. 2. *Folliculitis*: An infection of the hair follicles, which can cause redness, swelling, and pus-filled bumps. 3. *Seborrheic keratoses*: Benign growths that can appear as small, dark spots. 4. *Melanotic macules*: Small, benign areas of pigmentation.
