I've been using Betnovate N ointment on my face for dark spots and it seemed to work well initially. But after stopping it, my skin's become really dull, has turned black in places, and there's quite a bit of redness too. It's itching like crazy, and it's honestly annoying. I've noticed my skin getting darker, which is really worrying me. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do to fix this?

I've had this really itchy circular ring on my foot for about a month now. It started out as just a patch with blisters, but now it's turned into this ring shape that's driving me crazy. I've been using antiseptic cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What could this be, and how should I treat it?

I'm dealing with a cut mark on my left hand that happened back in January 2016. I didn't get any treatment for it at that time. Now, the wound mark has become thick, and I'm experiencing pain and itching there. Even a light touch is painful. Could you advise me on what to do?
