I've got these dark spots and areas of darker skin on my bum, plus some stretch marks, and while I'm usually confident about my body, these things make me feel a bit uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out a solution?

The dark spots and dark skin around them may be due to hyperpigmentation. You can use a cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin to lighten the dark spots. Apply it once at night for a few weeks. For the stretch marks, you can use a cream containing retinoids and hyaluronic acid to improve their appearance. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin."

View allI've been using glocin gel as prescribed for about a month now, applying it twice daily. I'm just wondering if I should keep using it for another month or if it's okay to stop at this point. What do you suggest?
As you have been using Glocin gel for almost one month, it is important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider regarding the duration of treatment. In general, for conditions like acne, it is common to continue using topical treatments like Glocin gel for at least 8-12 weeks to see optimal results. However, since individual cases may vary, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider to determine if you should continue using the gel for another month or if it is appropriate to stop at this time.

After I shave, the skin on my face turns dark green in the shaved area. Barbers say my beard is really tough. What can I do about this? I'm looking for some advice.
The dark green discoloration after shaving, known as pseudofolliculitis barbae or razor burn, can be caused by coarse or curly hair, ingrown hairs, or razor burn; to alleviate this issue, try using a sharp razor, shaving in the direction of hair growth, applying a soothing aftershave balm, exfoliating your skin regularly, and considering alternative hair removal methods like trimming or depilatory creams.

I'm a bit worried because I've been using Nilac gel for my pimples, and yesterday I put it on my entire face. Now I've noticed that it got into my eyes and on my lips. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it okay?
