I've been struggling with really dark underarms and it's bothering me a lot. I just want them to look like the rest of my skin. Do you have any advice on how to achieve this, and maybe tips on keeping them that way? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might work best.

I'm really worried and could use some advice. A while back, I used this ointment called Lobate GM on my face when I had just a few pimples. I went through 2 or 3 tubes of it, hoping it would help, but my skin got way worse. I ended up seeing a dermatologist and did a treatment for six months. Now, I've still got these red marks where the pimples were and I'm not sure what to do about them. Could you give me some guidance on what might help fade these marks?

It sounds like you may be dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from the acne. To help lighten the red marks left by the pimples, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with high SPF during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. Make sure to follow up with your skin specialist for further guidance and monitoring of your progress.

I've got this pigmentation on my face, mainly on my cheeks, that popped up after I had my daughter three years ago. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what it might be. Could it be related to my postpartum changes, or is there something else going on? What kind of treatment or steps should I take to manage or hopefully get rid of this pigmentation?
