I've been having these recurring skin allergies for about a year now. It's mostly around my pubic area, under my knee, and on my hip, and it's really itchy and red. I've tried taking itraconazole 100mg, and it helps for a bit, but then the problem just comes back. I'm really not sure what to do next. Could you give me any advice or suggest something I might be missing?

I'm looking to lighten my skin by 3 to 4 shades because I have a brownish complexion and really want a fairer skin tone. I've tried loads of natural remedies, but they're so slow and don't last. I'm really curious about a more permanent solution. Is there a full-body skin bleaching treatment available in Guwahati? If so, what's the cost involved? And are there specific steps I need to follow to achieve and maintain that lighter skin tone permanently?

I'm a bit concerned because my period is 9 days late, and I'm wondering if it could be related to isotretinoin. I've had irregular periods for the last couple of months since I started seeing a dermatologist for my acne. The acne's cleared up, but now my periods aren't on schedule. Could there be a connection?

Probable diagnosis is pcod, gynaec opinion is advised.

I'm dealing with these really itchy light brown spots that turn into dark black spots after I scratch them. It's so hard not to scratch because they itch so much! They're mostly on my lower legs and lower back. A couple of years ago, I had the same thing on my arms and hips, and those black spots never went away. Now it's flaring up again. What could be causing this, and what can I do to treat it?
