I've been struggling with pigmentation on my cheeks, and I've been using HH Lite Cream. It's really helped, and the pigmentation has completely disappeared. But I'm worried because whenever I stop using the cream, the spots come back, and there's also this itchy sensation. Why does this happen, and what can I do about it?

-Its great your pigmentation has improved, but HH Lite isnt a long-term solution. Switch to a gentle skincare routine with sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily to prevent reoccurrence, and consult a dermatologist for alternatives.
