I'm dealing with acne and dark spots, and I started using melalite cream. Is it actually safe for me to use this cream? Are there any risks or side effects I should know about? I'm just a bit worried and want to make sure I'm not doing more harm than good.

Melalite cream contains hydroquinone which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, it is important to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional as prolonged use of hydroquinone can have side effects such as skin irritation, redness, or a bluish-black darkening of the skin. It is recommended to use melalite cream in a thin layer on the affected areas once daily at night.
