I'm really grateful for your helpful response last time. I'm happy with the service you provide for patients. I've got another question, though. My skin texture isn't great there's some acne left even though I'm on medication and seeing a dermatologist. Theres also some pigmentation. My previous dermatologist gave me SabiGlow cream for skin lightening and to help with the pigmentation. Do you think this will help lighten my skin? I've got a wheatish skin tone, and Im curious if it's safe to use. I also stopped using propyzole nf cream after reading your review. You suggested Cetaphil DAM cream, but my skin is oily. It gets a bit dry right after washing, but gets oily again soon after. Can I still use Cetaphil DAM cream with my oily skin?

Sabi-Glow cream can be effective for lightening pigmentation and improving skin texture, but make sure you use it under the guidance of your dermatologist and always wear sunscreen. For your oily skin, you may want to adjust your moisturizer. Cetaphil DAM could be too heavy, but you can try using a smaller amount or consider switching to a lighter moisturizer like Cetaphil oil-free or a gel-based option.

I've been noticing some really deep holes all over my cheeks, and my face seems to be getting darker every day. It's starting to stress me out. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing severe acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. For the deep holes on your cheeks, you may benefit from using a topical retinoid like Retin-A (tretinoin) cream at night to help improve skin texture and promote collagen production. Additionally, for the hyperpigmentation, you can consider using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite (hydroquinone 4%), to help even out your skin tone. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further damage.

I've been dealing with a really itchy crotch and butt for a while now, and its really bothering me. Whenever I scratch, these scalelike things show up, and Ive noticed that the area looks darker compared to the surrounding skin. The itchiness is worse at night, and if I scratch too much, some fluid starts to come out. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?
