I'm really worried about my face. A couple of years ago, I got mango acid on my skin, and now I've got these small black pits. They are all over my face and I'm not sure what to do about it. I'm feeling pretty self-conscious and wondering if there's any treatment that could help improve my skin?

The scars and hyperpigmentation from mango acid exposure two years ago can be challenging to treat, but consider consulting a dermatologist for professional advice; they may recommend treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy to help reduce the appearance of scars and dark spots, and also prescribe topical creams or serums containing ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or retinoids to promote skin brightening and collagen production.

Could you help me figure out how to lighten the skin between my thighs? It's gotten darker, maybe from friction or wearing tight jeans. Also, near the scrotum, the skin is darker because I had ringworm there as a child. What can I do about this?

I've noticed that there's a spot in my mustache where the hair just isn't growing, even though the hair is there and surrounding areas are growing fine. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a disease, and do you think it'll start growing again on its own or do I need to look into some medicine?

I've got these rashes down near the bottom part of my testis and on my thighs close to my private area. I can't figure out what caused it or what ointment I should use, if any. I'm juggling a tight schedule, so I can't really make it to a doctor. It's getting more and more itchy, especially after a shower, and it gets annoying because I have to change my underwear. I also need to wait for it to dry to stop the itching. What do you think could be causing this, and how should I treat it?
