I've been using Dettol on my pimples and thankfully, they disappeared. But now Im left with a dark spot where they used to be. The Dettol burns have healed, but this spot is quite noticeable. Any advice on how I can get rid of the dark spot? It's really bothering me.

You have burnt you skin. Dettol is not the treatment for pimples. It causes irritant burns. This pigmetation if not treated may last forever.

I'm really concerned because I have these white birthmarks that are spreading slowly, and I feel like they're making me look unattractive. My skin is of medium complexion, and I'm thinking about whitening my entire body. Can anyone tell me how long that might take if I want to avoid surgery? And what's the average cost for doing something like this?
