I've got these itchy black spots on my back, chest, and under my arms, and now they're spreading to my arms too. It's really irritating, and I'm kind of worried about it. What could this possibly be?

I'm wondering if my fair is good because I have some black areas around my neck and on my forehead. If this is normal or healthy, I'm thinking of starting to use some kind of cream. Can you give me some advice on whether I should be concerned or if starting a cream would be a good idea?

I'm 28 and suddenly dealing with acne, which is totally new to me. My dermatologist put me on Isotretinoin 20 mg, but now I'm worried. They warned me about not getting pregnant during treatment and mentioned something about contraception, but I'm more concerned about what happens after. Is it safe to try for a baby 6 months later? Could there be any impact on my fertility or sexual health? Would really appreciate some clarity on this.
