I've been dealing with acne and pimple breakouts for the past 5 years, and thankfully they have finally stopped. But now I'm left with a face full of scars, acne marks, and discoloration. What can I do to even out my skin tone and maybe reduce these marks and scars?

I've noticed a small lump on the inside of my right arm near the elbow. It's kind of weird because it doesn't hurt when I touch it. Should I be concerned or is this something normal? What could this be?

I've been dealing with acne breakouts for a while now, and once they go away, they leave these dark spots on my face. My skin's pretty oily and almost half of my face has these spots, and it's really getting on my nerves. Can you recommend any lotions or gels that actually work on clearing up these spots and controlling the acne?
