I've been dealing with a fixed drug eruption for the past four years and have been seeing a skin specialist for treatment. Initially, I was given various lotions, but I really didn't see any improvement. I got so frustrated that I started looking up remedies online, and that's when I found out about laser treatment. I tried that route, and it's been about 10 months since I had it done. Unfortunately, my issue hasn't improved completely, and now my dark brown mark has just turned into a white one with tiny dark spots. Could you advise me on what steps I should consider next?

I've been dealing with Melasma for about 45 years now, and it's really noticeable because of my fair skin. There are these dark patches on my cheekbones. I tried cosmo peel and laser treatments about two years ago, but they didn't help at all. A dermatologist suggested I use Triluma cream twice a week, so I've been trying it out for the past two weeks. My skin's started flaking and feels really dry, and whenever I put on my Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen, I get this burning, tingling sensation. Is this normal?
