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.

I've been dealing with acne issues for the past two months and it's been really tough on me. I've had darkness around my mouth and on my eyelids since I was a kid, and the acne is making everything worse. I get breakouts all the time and my skin has become so oily. Even though I wash my face every few hours, it gets oily again really quickly. It's making me feel so self-conscious whenever I'm talking to someone face to face. I just want to clear up my skin. I've tried so many creams, but nothing seems to work. The pimple marks just keep getting darker. I also have dandruff and use a special shampoo to manage it, which has helped a bit. But now I'm dealing with a lot of hair loss when I comb or wash my hair. Do you have any home remedies that could help with my acne and hair fall? It's really affecting my self-esteem.
