A dermatologist-recommended cream containing hydroquinone (2 to 4 percent), azelaic acid, or a combination of retinoids and sunscreen may be more successful than standard over-the-counter creams for persistent dark spots. To avoid worsening pigmentation, always combine therapy with daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen. Consult a physician before beginning stronger medications.

I consulted a doctor about my face covered with pimples, but Clinmiskin isn't working. Some friends say it's due to masturbation, but I do it often. What's causing my pimples?

Acne is typically caused by hormonal changes, greasy skin, clogged pores, stress, nutrition, or poor skincare; masturbation does not create pimples. If Clinmiskin isn't working, you should see a dermatologist again because your form of acne may require a different course of treatment, such as retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or oral medications.

I have dark spots on my skin and its becoming dull. I'm currently using Clinmiskin gel.

Pigmentation, sun exposure, or post-acne markings can all cause dark patches and dull skin. Clinmiskin gel mostly relieves acne and inflammation. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, and if spots continue, think about using a brightening product?that is advised by a dermatologist.
