I've noticed that my body odour is really unpleasant, and I'm not quite sure which type of specialist I should talk to about this. Could it be related to something medical that needs specific attention?

Also, do you think products like Faceguard and Radiant I creams are effective for treating dark circles too? I want to double-check on my prescribed meds and what's best to use.

I've noticed these dark spots on my lower back near my spinal cord that started appearing over a month ago. They don't hurt or itch, but they seem to be spreading, and it's starting to make me a bit concerned. Should I be worried or get this checked out? Any idea what might be causing this?
Could be a condition called Tinea Versicolor. This is a fungal infection of the skin that can cause discolored patches. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream applied twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can use a medicated shampoo containing selenium sulfide to wash the affected area. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.
