I've been dealing with acne pimples on my face that are painful and leaving lots of dark spots. I'm also currently taking Triple A Cal Forte, Subneuro B6, and Mashyne 60k caps for my shoulder dislocation surgery. Could these medications be affecting my skin? What can I do to manage the acne and dark spots while on these meds?

I've noticed this firm lump between the skin of my inner thigh. It's weird because it doesn't hurt unless I press on it a bit, then it hurts. It's kind of like an inflammation, but it's hard to the touch. What could this be, and should I be worried about it?

I've been using Cosmolite cream for the past three years, but I've noticed that since I've stopped, the skin around my mouth and eyes has turned darker. I'm pretty worried about this change. Could you give me some advice on how to get my natural skin tone back in those areas? Any suggestions or treatments you could recommend would be really appreciated.

The darkening of skin around your mouth and eyes after stopping Cosmolite cream suggests rebound hyperpigmentation or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH); to recover, try: applying sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily, using topical creams containing niacinamide, vitamin C, or kojic acid, and exfoliating gently with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs); consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance and potential prescription-strength treatments.

I'm asking for a friend who's naturally very dark-skinned due to her genes, and she's considering a melanin reduction procedure. I know this isn't super common in India, and there seems to be a lack of information about it. What are the risks and side effects she should be aware of, and how much does it typically cost? Also, what steps does she need to take to go through with this?
