A member asked:
I have been suffering from dark patches on my back and bug bites.. also my skin looks dull is there a medication to remove those patches?

Time: These patches usually fade away or lighten significantly with time as long as you are not irritating them. A bleaching cream containing several ingredients may also hasten the fading but it is not inexpensive. For even more expensive option, intense pulse light or laser may be considered.
