I've been using Fair & Handsome cream and I'm 16, but I've noticed a lot of pimples and dark spots on my face. I'm really concerned and curious if the cream might be causing this. What should I do to clear my skin up?

View allI've had these white bumps on my skin and hands for months, and now they're showing up on my face too. No matter what I do, they just don't go away. Even if I scratch them off with my nails, they seem to always come back. What's going on, and how can I get rid of them for good?
Could be a sign of a skin condition called Molluscum Contagiosum. This is a viral infection that can spread through direct skin contact. I recommend using a topical treatment like Retin-A (tretinoin) cream to help treat the bumps. Apply a thin layer of Retin-A cream on the affected areas once daily at bedtime. It may take a few weeks to see improvement, so be patient with the treatment. Additionally, avoid scratching or picking at the bumps to prevent further spread of the infection. Keep the affected areas clean and dry to promote healing. If the condition persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm noticing a dark black spot on the left side of my stomach, and my parents mentioned it might be lassun. I'm quite curious and a bit worried about this. Can you let me know how to treat it or what it might indicate?
Based on the description of a dark black spot on your stomach, it is possible that it could be a mole or a skin lesion. However, without a proper examination, it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. I recommend you to consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.
