I've been dealing with these dark spots on my face for quite a while now and despite trying different products, nothing seems to work. Could you please recommend a medicine that might help in getting rid of them?

Dark spots on the face can be treated with topical creams containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. You can apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the dark spots once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day can help prevent further darkening of the spots. Remember to consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.

I'm dealing with some really dry skin issues and I've got this visible white spot in a sensitive area. It's painful between my thighs and around my genital area. I'm worried it might be some kind of fungal infection or maybe scabies. Can I use Vaseline petroleum jelly to help with the dryness, or could that make things worse? I'm just not sure what the best thing to do is.

No vaseline jelly is not advised.
