I've been using Fair & Handsome cream and I'm 16, but I've noticed a lot of pimples and dark spots on my face. I'm really concerned and curious if the cream might be causing this. What should I do to clear my skin up?

I'm experiencing these small pus-filled bumps and redness near my thighs, and it's really concerning me. On top of that, I've been dealing with Keratosis pilaris from my back below the neck down to my waist and above my elbows for about 10 years now. My skin is very sensitive, and I just can't figure out why all this is happening. Could there be a connection between these two issues, and should I be doing something differently with my skincare routine?
that could be bacterial and fungal infection it needs oral and topical agents ,vosot your dermatologist for appropriate treatment and perosnal hygiene is very importangt for this disease to heal.

I've been having some skin issues, and I'm starting to get worried. I went for a medical test in Saudi Arabia, and it came back showing TPHAVDRL reactive. After that, I consulted a dermatologist in Hyderabad, and they did a biopsy to confirm the results, which were still reactive. They recommended penicillin injections, which I took, and then did a retest 8 weeks later. But, the test is still showing reactive. I'm not sure if this diagnosis is accurate or if it's something that can actually be cured. Besides this, I've had some non-itchy, painless rashes on my skin since around 2009. They appeared when I traveled to the USA. I've shown them to a doctor there, but I'm still concerned. Could there be something I'm missing or should be doing differently?
This looks like Syphilis, penicillin is the drug of choice for this condition and it's curable no need to worry follow as your Dermatologist advised you some cases need long-term treatment.
