I've noticed my skin has become really dark and oily, and there's no glow anymore. This isn't related to any genetic issues. When I was about 8 years old, I had frequent cold, cough, high fevers, and stomach pains, leading to taking a lot of medicine. Could that be why my skin changed? I'm hoping there's some kind of treatment to get my skin back to normal. What do you think might help?

I've been going for swimming classes lately, and I've noticed that my skin is getting tanned even though I'm using sunscreen. I'm really hoping to get rid of this tan quickly. Can you suggest any effective detanning creams or something I can apply on my hands and face to help fade the tan?

You can use sunscreen based creams and good moisturizers for the same and visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm having trouble finding Dipsalic F ointment at medical stores since they said it's not being made anymore. I've been using it for an allergic reaction, and nothing else I've tried is as effective. Can you suggest the best substitute for this ointment? I'm really concerned about finding something that works as well.

Since Dipsalic F ointment is unavailable, I'll suggest some alternatives with similar ingredients: *Alternatives with Salicylic Acid and Urea* 1. *Ursal 10% Ointment*: Contains urea (10%) and salicylic acid (3%). 2. *Keralyt 5% Gel*: Has salicylic acid (5%) and urea (10%). 3. *Salex 6% Cream*: Contains salicylic acid (6%) and might be suitable for allergic areas. *Other Options* 1. *CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser*: A gentle cleanser with salicylic acid (2%) and hyaluronic acid. 2. *Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream*: A rich moisturizer with urea (10%) and ceramides

Along with that, I've been super anxious lately, and I've noticed small whiteheads popping up on my face. I've had an X-ray doneI've got it attached here. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on with me. It's been so confusing and stressful. Any advice or insights?

Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.
