I've been dealing with ringworm around my groin for the past couple of months. I've tried a bunch of creams with no luck, but then a friend recommended Sapatlotion. It finally worked, but now its left this black scar in the area that was infected. Is there any way to get rid of this scar, and how long might that take? Can you recommend any effective scar removal creams?

I've got this pigmentation on my face, mainly on my cheeks, that popped up after I had my daughter three years ago. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what it might be. Could it be related to my postpartum changes, or is there something else going on? What kind of treatment or steps should I take to manage or hopefully get rid of this pigmentation?
