Acne is quite common. It causes pimples, red spots, mostly on your face, chest, and back. Hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Hormones, genetics, and stress can make it worse. To improve acne, wash your face twice daily with gentle cleanser. Don't pick or squeeze pimples. Use oil-free products. If acne persists despite efforts, see a dermatologist for advanced treatments.

Your description points to a yeast infection. It happens when an imbalance of yeast occurs in the body. You mentioned dryness and a slight odor, without itching or burning. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can help treat this condition. Also, doctor-prescribed medicines are available. Keep the affected area clean and dry. If there's no improvement, get it checked by a dermatologist.

This is usually when you have dark or light patches on your skin. Some common factors are sunburn, hormonal changes, and genetics. Improving pigmentation can be achieved by sunscreen, limiting sun exposure, and using skincare products with ingredients like vitamin C or retinol to even out your skin tone.

Cats can scratch, and it happens. You've cleaned it properly, which is great. However, keep an eye out for signs of infection, like redness, swelling, warmth, or increasing pain near the scratch. If you notice any of these, see a doctor right away.
