To help with acne marks and prevent new acne breakouts, you can use a combination of topical treatments. You can use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel in the evening to help with acne and improve skin texture. In the morning, you can apply a Vitamin C serum to help with skin brightening and collagen production. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. Make sure to follow a consistent skincare routine and be patient as it may take some time to see results.

I've been noticing these dark brown spots on my thighs and legs. They don't itch, but I'm worried because they seem to be spreading. My mom thinks it could be from heat. I've also got a couple of spots on my stomach that start off red before turning brownish. Could this be something serious? What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm on Sebifine 250mg for about a week now and need to continue it for the next two weeks. I'm wondering if it's okay to get the COVID vaccine, either Covishield or Covaxin, during this treatment. Is there any interaction I should worry about, or is it safe to proceed with the vaccination?

I'm having this uncomfortable itching between my legs, right around the penis area, and I've noticed the skin there has darkened a bit. Whenever I apply talc, it seems to help with the itch. Should I be concerned about this, and is there something specific I should be doing to treat it?
