I've been noticing these pimples popping up on my lower back, especially on both sides around the waist, and they're turning into black spots. It's also happening on my upper arms. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and what can I do to make them go away?

That looks like keratosis pilaris? if it is so take bath twice daily and use good moisturizer two times a day that will work , if it still persists visit dermatologist topical lotions.

Ive noticed that my face skin has become darker and the texture isnt uniform anymoresome areas are black and others are white. People have commented that my skin looks rough for my age. Theres also no glow, and it feels really dry, almost like its lifeless. What could be causing these changes, and is there anything I can do about it?

It sounds like your skin may be experiencing hyperpigmentation, dryness, and texture irregularities, possibly due to factors like sun exposure, dehydration, or skin barrier damage. Here are some recommendations: 1. Drink plenty of water to improve skin hydration from within. 2. Use a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer twice daily. 3. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily to prevent further darkening. 4. Try a mild exfoliant (like lactic acid) once or twice a week to promote even skin texture. Consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, which may include topical treatments or other therapies to even skin tone and improve texture. These steps should help improve your skins hydration, glow, and uniformity over time.

I've got this black spot on my leg, and I'm really not sure what to do about it. Any ideas on how I can get rid of it? What's the best solution for something like this?

This could be due to various reasons such as skin pigmentation or a mole. Without a physical examination, it is difficult to give a precise diagnosis. However, if it is a pigmentation issue, he can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily. If it is a mole or concerning lesion, he should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and possible removal.
