Question

I've been using mintop for the past 3 months and ever since I started, I've been experiencing a lot of itching where I apply it. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about the irritation, or maybe try something different? Any advice would be appreciated!

To help alleviate the itching, you can try using a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer on the affected area. Additionally, you can use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help reduce the itching. If the itching persists or becomes severe, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question

I've been dealing with some white patches on my face after using Dremz Hydroquinone cream and that Glowriance face wash with glycolic acid for my melasma. My doctor says it's this Tinea Versicolor infection. How long do you think it'll take for these patches to fade away? Also, are there any quick treatments like laser or dermabrasion that might help get rid of them faster?
