I've been dealing with some white patches on my face after using Dremz Hydroquinone cream and that Glowriance face wash with glycolic acid for my melasma. My doctor says it's this Tinea Versicolor infection. How long do you think it'll take for these patches to fade away? Also, are there any quick treatments like laser or dermabrasion that might help get rid of them faster?

View allI woke up this morning with a rash that kind of looks like a rat bite. I've noticed a rat in my room before and I've been using rat poison to try to deal with it. I didn't wake up last night and the wound hasn't bled or anything. Should I be worried or do anything about it?

I'm noticing these pimple-like bumps on my scrotum. They feel hard, and some are white. They're not painful, but they do get itchy sometimes. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

I've been dealing with some pimples that, after a few days, turn into these dark spots on my face. It's really frustrating and I'm not sure how to get rid of them. Do you have any advice on what might work to clear up these spots?
To help fade block spots from pimples, try using gentle exfoliants with ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide. Consistently moisturizing and applying sunscreen daily will also prevent further darkening. If spots persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for targeted treatments.
