Face wash with either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide may help in removing dead skin cells which clogs the pores leading to acne. Either of them may help only in mild grade of acne. You can choose face wash with salicylic acid if you have blackheads, whiteheads and comedones and face wash with benzoyl peroxide if you have pus filled pimples.

I'm dealing with macular amyloidosis, which has caused the skin on my legs to become pigmented. I'm really looking for any treatment options to help with this issue. I've attached a picture for more clarity. Could you advise on any potential solutions?

Treatment options for this condition may include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream to help reduce inflammation and lighten the pigmented areas. Another option could be topical retinoids like Tretinoin cream to promote skin cell turnover and improve skin texture. It is important to use these medications as directed by your healthcare provider and to follow up regularly for monitoring.

I'm African American and I've noticed my skin used to be much lighter, but over the past six years, it's gotten so dark that I can barely see myself at night. I spend most of my time indoors and rarely go out. I've tried skin bleaching products before, and they worked, but once I stop using them, my skin becomes darker again. Do you have any suggestions for lotions or treatments I could try to help with this?
