I've been dealing with this pimple on my face and decided to try betamethasone ointment on it. After I washed my face, I noticed that the area where I applied it looked lighter. I'm not sure if that's a good sign or if I should be concerned. Could this be a side effect or does it mean the ointment is working?

I've noticed a white substance forming on the shaft of my penis whenever I pull back the skin, and this has been happening for the last 6 months. Also, I've realized that the hair on my scrotum has turned yellow and become thicker. I suspect this could be trichomycosis pubis. Can someone help me figure out what's going on or suggest any solutions?

I've been using both Clearz Ultra and Clearz Max as suggested by my doctor. He mentioned stopping the Max cream after the course and then starting the Clearz Ultra. I'm supposed to use the Max cream on alternate nights for 15 days and then take a 15-day break. Can I use the Clearz Ultra with Kojic and Arbutin long-term, like forever? Is it safe to do that for dark spots? Also, if my pigmentation comes back, is it okay to start using the Max cream again regularly? About using Clearz Ultra at night for a long time, is that advisable? And with Max cream, does it make a difference if I put it on for just an hour or leave it all night? Usually, I just sleep with it on without washing it off. I'm really curious and a bit worried about how to handle this skincare routine. Could you help me understand what's safe and effective?
