I've been going for swimming classes lately, and I've noticed that my skin is getting tanned even though I'm using sunscreen. I'm really hoping to get rid of this tan quickly. Can you suggest any effective detanning creams or something I can apply on my hands and face to help fade the tan?

I've been noticing these black round patches on the skin near my buttocks and penis area, and they're super itchy. They seem to be getting larger every day. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been noticing some white stuff showing up on my face after I shower or wash it, and it's really bothering me. Could you tell me what's going on and what I should use to make it go away?

After taking shower or washing your face, the white stuff appearing on your face is likely sebum mixed with dead skin cells. This can be managed by using a gentle exfoliating cleanser containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. You can try using a face wash like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide once daily. Remember to moisturize your skin afterwards to prevent dryness.

Hey, I've been using terbinaforce plus cream on my upper thighs for the last two weeks and the infection seems to have cleared up about a week ago. Should I keep using it even though it looks like it's cured? Just wondering what's best to do here.

It is not necessary to continue applying Terbinaforce plus cream if the infection has already been cured for a week. You can stop using the cream now.
