I'm dealing with some tanning on my face and I'm really looking for help. Can you recommend a cream or any other solution that can get rid of the tanning without causing any side effects? I'm a bit worried about trying new products on my skin, so any safe suggestions would be really appreciated.

I recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such cream is Melalite Forte cream. Apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected areas of your face once at night. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to prevent further tanning.

I've noticed that every time I get my IgE levels checked, they're always above 5000. I'm starting to worry about what this could mean for my health in the long run.
