Suggest Treatment For Hyper Pigmentation And Itching On Neck And Between Breast
i used an anti aging cream on my neck, under my chin and on my chest. I now have dark blochy spots on neck and spreading to the area between my breast, it is itchy just a little, my doctor gave me a cream called clotrimazole and betamethasone that has helped but has not cleared the spots.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
It seems you have got local irritation to the cream you have used. It called Contact irritant dermatitis.
Nothing to worry as your skin will be fine soon.
I would advise you a week course of oral prednisolone in low dose (5-10mg).
Apply a corticosteroid like mometasone and antibiotic like fusidic acid twice a day.
After good quality moisturiser like Cetaphil DAM twice a day.
Avoid use of any cosmetics/facewash for few days.
Avoid direct sun exposure and use water-based sunscreen before stepping out in sun.
Hope this was useful.
Take care
