I'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?

I've been dealing with a bit of a situation and could really use some advice. I had this small pimple on my forehead, and I ended up popping it early. I cleaned it up, but there was a bit of bleeding. I used some undiluted Dettol on a cotton swab to clean it, but that just made it worse and caused some irritation and a burn. I've tried soothing it with aloe vera gel, but now there's this dark circle, and it's been a few days. Any ideas on what medicine could help clear this up quickly?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
