I'm noticing some dark spots on the back of my neck, thighs, and waist, and my underarms have become darker too. A skin doctor once mentioned it might be related to insulin resistance. Could that be true, and what steps should I take to figure this out?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I've been using adapero mixed with nioclean for my pimples and scars, and it was working so well at first, my scars were actually fading. But then I found out I shouldn't be in the sun too much while using these. I spent a day at the beach, and now the areas where my skin was healing look really dark, almost black where the pimples and scars were. What can I do to fix this? Will the dark spots eventually fade away?

The post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by sun exposure while using adapalene and niacinamide may fade over time with consistent sun protection, topical treatments, and patience, but consult your dermatologist for personalized guidance and treatment.
