I'm noticing these two long, red, thick lines forming on my stomach and one on my left upper arm. They're getting more pronounced and resemble a scar, almost like someone cut me with a knife. I'm really puzzled because they don't look like stretch marks to me. Can you help me figure out what kind of skin issue this might be?

I'm dealing with some skin issues and could use your advice. I've got acne on my cheeks and this annoying itchiness around my nose. I heard about mixing Fudic BNF cream with ketoconazole for these kinds of problems. Is it safe to use them together for both the acne and the itchy areas? I'm really not sure and I don't want to make things worse. What do you think?
