I've been dealing with these pimples right under my butt crack, and they're really irritating and painful, especially when I move. I'm not sure what kind of medical facility I should go to for this. Any advice?

View allI've been using Betnovate N ointment on my face for dark spots and it seemed to work well initially. But after stopping it, my skin's become really dull, has turned black in places, and there's quite a bit of redness too. It's itching like crazy, and it's honestly annoying. I've noticed my skin getting darker, which is really worrying me. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do to fix this?

I've never been a smoker, but my lips are really dark, and I'm desperate to lighten them. I've tried a bunch of home remedies like lemon, honey, and beetroot, but nothing seems to work. What else can I do to help get rid of this?
Darkening of lips could be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, dehydration, Sun exposure. Identify the cause and address it. Use a lip balm with spf 15 or higher to protect them.Ensure you drink plenty of water daily. use a gentle scrub to exfoliate dead skin 2-3 times a week. use moisturising and hydrating lip balms.

I've got these white patches on my neck and shoulder again after 5 years. It's really puzzling why they've returned after such a long time. I've been using the same cream and dusting powder from before, Clotrimazole Powder and Fourderm, for about a month now, but theres just no sign of them getting better. Could you help me figure out what's going on, and what else I might try? Would appreciate any insights you have!
The recurrence of white patches on your neck and shoulder area after 5 years could be due to a fungal infection, such as pityriasis versicolor, which can be triggered by factors like hormonal changes, stress, or sun exposure; despite using Clotrimazole Powder and Fourderm cream, the lack of improvement suggests you may need to consult a dermatologist for a revised diagnosis and treatment plan, which may include alternative antifungal medications, lifestyle changes, or other therapies to address the underlying cause.
