I've been using Faiza cream for about six months, but after I stopped, my face broke out with pimples and acne, and it's gotten way oilier. I'm really worried about this. How can I recover from these issues and work towards getting fairer skin? Can you please help me?

To help with the pimples, acne, and oily skin, you can try using a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to unclog pores and reduce oiliness. Additionally, a topical retinoid cream like Retin-A can help with acne and promote skin cell turnover. To lighten your skin, you can consider using a cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid, but make sure to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Remember to always use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

Could you help me out with something? I'm 9 months pregnant and was wondering if it's safe to use Melacare cream for fairness. I used it a couple of years ago and it worked wonders on my complexion. I'm really hoping to get that glow back, especially with the changes during pregnancy and soon-to-be lactation. Is it safe to start using it again now?

Yes, continue all the medications.

I'm taking terbest 250mg every day for a fungal infection that's mainly on the skin of my scrotum, inside the foreskin, and on the head of my private part. There are also some tiny rashes. I've noticed that the terbest is starting to work, but I'm wondering how many days I should keep taking it?
