I've noticed some white patches appearing in the scrotum area and also in the lower part of my genital area. I'm a bit concerned about what this could mean. Should I be worried or look for any other symptoms? Is it something you've come across before?

View allI've been dealing with post-acne pigmentation on my cheeks, forehead, and chin, and my doctor recommended using Glambak gel. It's been about a month now, and I've noticed some reduction in dark spots and an improvement in my skin tone, which is great. But I'm a bit worried about whether I should keep using the cream long-term to maintain even skin tone. Will my skin tone go darker if I stop using it? I do use sunscreen regularly, but I'm just a bit confused about what the best approach might be. Can you help me figure this out?
