I've noticed a black dark spot about 1.5 cm in radius on the left side of my stomach. What's the best way to get rid of it? Also, during the hot summer months, I seem to get more pimples. Is there any connection or way to manage these skin issues better?

I'm a 25-year-old guy and I've been using Dermadew soap for a while now. I'm wondering if it's safe for long-term use. Are there any side effects I should worry about? Also, if you could recommend a good soap for skin whitening, that would be great.
