I'm really worried because my daughter accidentally spilled hot tea on her chest, and now she has about three spots, each around an inch, that got burned. After treatment, her chest is okay now, but the skin color where it burned is different from her normal skin. What can I do to help the color of the burned skin blend back in with her regular skin tone?

View allI'm dealing with some pigmentation or maybe a fungal infection on my bum cheeks, and it's super itchy all the time. Is it normal for these spots to make my skin turn darker, almost black? How can I treat this?

I've been having some real discomfort down there. I rubbed the area around my anus because it was irritated, and now its burning even more, and I'm noticing more skin getting affected.

I've been dealing with this itching problem all over my body for about a month now, and I'm really not sure what to do next. I tried using Dettol and itch guard, but they haven't helped. It's pretty frustrating. Any idea what might be causing this or what I should try next?
Itching for a month could be due to allergies, dry skin, infections, or other underlying issues. Avoid scratching, keep your skin moisturized, and wear loose, breathable clothes. Since Dettol and itch guard didnt help, consult a dermatologist to identify the cause and get proper treatment. Avoid self-medicating further.
