My upper body is tan while my lower body is much fairer can skin whitening treatments even out my skin tone? I've heard it involves chemicals but I'm not sure how it works or if it's safe. Is it possible to lighten just the darker areas to match the rest?

Question

I'm really concerned about the pimples I get just before my menstruationthey used to go away but now they're kind of a constant thing. I've been trying to avoid junk food and sugar, and I'm using calamine and a salicylic acid face wash, but they just won't clear up. Recently, I've been getting these large pimples on my cheeks that swell up but don't really hurt. After a few days, they form a head and start leaking pus and blood. Could this be a sign of type 2 diabetes?
