I've noticed that my skin has started to smell really strongly like something burning, and it's not just meother people can smell it too. It started off kind of mild, but now the smell is getting stronger. I'm really curious about what this could be. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this?

I've got some trouble with acne on my nose and I'm noticing dark spots on my face, especially where I previously had acne. It's been a bit worrying as these dark spots are sticking around after the acne has cleared up. I also see the same issue with dark spots and acne on my nose. What can I do to get rid of these dark spots? Any advice would be really helpful!

Usually acne scars would fade with time, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
