Over winter, I've noticed my skin tends to get a darker shade, even though I've usually got a fair skin tone. What do you think might be causing this? Plus, my skin gets pretty dry around this time. Could you recommend a moisturizer that isn't sticky but still brightens up my skin? Would love some advice on how to manage both these issues!

View allI've been swimming a lot these past few months, and I'm noticing that my skin has gotten much darker, maybe about three times darker than before. Is this suntan going to be permanent? Besides sunscreens, are there other things I can do to prevent my skin from tanning both before and after I swim? And what are the best ways to get rid of this tan completely?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm currently undergoing treatment for acanthosis nigricans, and my doctor recommended using a radiofrequency technique to get rid of some small black spots under my arm. I recently moved to a new city, and I'm wondering if I can continue this treatment here. Is this something I should be concerned about when changing locations, or can I just find a local specialist to continue with the radiofrequency treatment?
