My skin just keeps getting darker lately and I'm really starting to worry. I've been trying a bunch of things like blood purifying medicines, loads of cosmetics, drinking a ton of water, and staying out of the sun and heat, but nothing seems to work. It's getting pretty frustrating because I just want my natural complexion back. Could you suggest something that actually helps?

View allI've been dealing with this jock itch issue for a couple of years now, and it's really stressing me out. My groin and butt area have turned completely black, and I've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any advice or treatment suggestions to help me get my original skin color back? Is there anything specific I should be doing?
It sounds like you may have a chronic fungal infection causing the jock itch and skin discoloration. To treat this, I recommend using an antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole. You can apply it twice daily to the affected areas for at least 2 weeks. In addition, taking oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole may also be necessary in severe cases. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. To help restore the original skin color, you can use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone. Apply a thin layer to the darkened areas once daily, preferably at night.

I've been using Neutrogena sunscreen for quite some time, but after running out and not using it for about a week, I noticed it started causing breakouts when I applied it again. I have acne-prone and combination skin, so I'm really concerned. What sunscreen would work best for me?
It is important to choose a sunscreen that is non-comedogenic and oil-free to prevent further breakouts. I recommend trying "La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Dry Touch Sunscreen SPF 60". Apply a generous amount to your face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every 2 hours or immediately after swimming or sweating. This sunscreen is specifically designed for acne-prone skin and provides high protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

I've been using this Kojivit Plus cream my dermatologist recommended for my dark spots, and it has kojic acid in it. I've been at it for a couple of months, but instead of getting lighter, my dark spots seem to be getting darker. Is it possible that this cream could be making them worse?
Yes, it's possible that Kojivit Plus cream containing kojic acid may be causing the dark spots to darken further. Reduce Frequency or Concentration:and comsult dermatologist
