Question

I'm really concerned about the pimples I get just before my menstruationthey used to go away but now they're kind of a constant thing. I've been trying to avoid junk food and sugar, and I'm using calamine and a salicylic acid face wash, but they just won't clear up. Recently, I've been getting these large pimples on my cheeks that swell up but don't really hurt. After a few days, they form a head and start leaking pus and blood. Could this be a sign of type 2 diabetes?

Question

I live abroad in Saudi Arabia and recently purchased Pigmanorm cream, which contains hydroquinone, for my melasma and dyspigmentation. After using it for 3 days, the area where I applied it turned really red. I'm quite worried about this reaction, even though I'm also using Eveline sunscreen SPF 50 in the afternoons. Should I stop using the cream, or should I continue? And will the redness on my skin go away on its own? I'm also sharing a picture of my face and the cream I used to help you understand better. Can you guide me on what to do next?
