I've been noticing some really deep holes all over my cheeks, and my face seems to be getting darker every day. It's starting to stress me out. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing severe acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. For the deep holes on your cheeks, you may benefit from using a topical retinoid like Retin-A (tretinoin) cream at night to help improve skin texture and promote collagen production. Additionally, for the hyperpigmentation, you can consider using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite (hydroquinone 4%), to help even out your skin tone. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further damage.

I've been dealing with this severe itching problem around my anal area for a while now. I remember using quadriderm RF cream for a couple of days before, and it used to clear up. But lately, even after applying it, the itching won't go away. I've noticed these dark black skin lines all over the anal area too. Could you recommend any good medications or treatments to help me out with this? I'm really worried and would appreciate some advice.
