I've been using Persol Forte cream for my acne, and I've noticed that while my acne has reduced, the areas where it was have now become darker. Should I keep using the cream, or is it better to stop? Any recommendations for a cream that can help with the dark spots?

Ive been having these boil-like pimples in my suprapubic area again. I had the same issue about a year ago and it hung around for two years before disappearing on its own. Now, after about 9 months of being clear, theyve come back in the same spot. Im seeing about 10 of them now, and a couple have started growing on my penis too. Last year, I had a skin biopsy and the doctor said it wasnt cancerous, but Im worried since theyre popping up again. Im sexually active and I do drink whisky or beer pretty often. Can you tell me what this might be, what causes it, and if theres a permanent treatment for it?

I've been using Tenovate GN and Brite cream for my face for about four years now. The problem is, whenever I stop using them, my skin darkens and I start getting pimples. I'm really worried about this. What could be going on with my skin, and is there a better way to handle it without relying on these creams?
Long-term use of topical steroids like Tenovate GN can lead to skin thinning, discoloration, and acne breakouts when discontinued abruptly. Brite cream is a combination of multiple ingredients that help with skin brightening. To address the darkening and pimples upon discontinuation, you can gradually taper off the use of Tenovate GN to prevent rebound effects. You can switch to a milder steroid cream like Hydrocortisone for a short period to help with the transition. For skin brightening, you can consider using products containing ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid.
