I've been dealing with some really frustrating skin issues. There are these rashes and stretch marks around my groin area, and the itching is just unbearable at times. I tried using Cosvate GM for a bit, but after I read some stuff about it, I stopped. Now I'm using an antifungal powder, but it doesn't seem to work for long, and it feels like its not a permanent fix. What do you suggest I do about this?

View allI've been dealing with severe pigmentation on my hands and neck, and I'm really struggling to find something that works long-term. Initially, I tried using Glyaha Koj with Diprovate, and it seemed to help, but once I stopped, the discoloration came right back. Then I moved on to using Melacare and Skinlite, but unfortunately, they didn't make much of a difference. I'm now wondering if chemical peels could be a solution here. Do you think they might help with this stubborn pigmentation?
Chemical peels containing ingredients like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid can help in reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone. It is important to consult a dermatologist to determine the most suitable type and strength of chemical peel for your skin type and pigmentation severity. One commonly used chemical peel for pigmentation is Cosmelan. It is a depigmentation treatment that helps to reduce melanin production and lighten dark spots. The treatment involves applying the Cosmelan mask in the clinic and then following a specific at-home care regimen. For your severe pigmentation concern on hands and neck, a series of chemical peel sessions may be recommended, typically spaced a few weeks apart. It is important to follow post-peel care instructions diligently, including sun protection, to achieve the best results and prevent further pigmentation. Always consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your skin condition.

I've been dealing with these white spots for around 10 years, and it's becoming a real concern for me. I'm really curious about what they might be and would love some advice on how to possibly get rid of them. Could you help me understand what these might be and suggest any treatments or remedies?
White spots on the skin can be caused by various conditions such as vitiligo or fungal infections. Treatment options may include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream to help reduce inflammation and repigment the skin. Another option is phototherapy using UV light to stimulate melanin production. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management.
