Diagnosis*

Based on your description, it's likely that you're experiencing:

1. *Acne*: Pimples and inflammation causing dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
2. *Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)*: Dark spots and discoloration resulting from acne and inflammation.
3. *Melasma*: Hormonal fluctuations and sun exposure may be contributing to skin darkening.

*Treatment Advice*

To achieve glowing and even-toned skin:

*Topical Treatments*

1. *Benzoyl peroxide* (2.5% or 5%): Reduces acne and prevents future breakouts.
2. *Hydroquinone* (2%): Fades hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
3. *Retinoids*: Derivatives of vitamin A that prevent clogged pores and reduce inflammation.
4. *Vitamin C*: Brightens and protects the skin from environmental stressors.

*Oral Medications*

1. *Antibiotics*: May be prescribed to target bacterial acne.
2. *Hormonal treatments*: For acne and melasma related to hormonal imbalances.

*Professional Treatments*

1. *Chemical peels*: Exfoliates and brightens the skin.
2. *Microdermabrasion*: Non-invasive exfoliating treatment.
3. *Laser therapy*: Targets hyperpigmentation and stimulates collagen production.

*Lifestyle Changes*

1. *Sun protection*: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.
2. *Skincare routine*: Establish a consistent routine using gentle, non-comedogenic products.
3. *Healthy diet*: Focus on whole foods, fruits, and vegetables.
4. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Question 2

I've been taking these medicines: Syntran 200, Codox, Hizet 25 mg, Lorinol 10, and using Tribex cream and Nozal cream. Now I'm breaking out in red rashes all over my body. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

Accepted Answer

Given the red rashes after taking those medications, consider stopping them immediately and consulting a doctor as soon as possible; in the meantime, apply a cool compress or calamine lotion to soothe the skin, take an oral antihistamine like diphenhydramine to reduce itching and inflammation, and avoid scratching the affected areas to prevent further irritation.
