View allI'm curious about using Kojiglow cream for my combination skin. My dermatologist recommended it, along with a sunscreen to use before applying the cream. I'm supposed to use it for three months. Does this sound safe? Are there any side effects I should be worried about for my skin type?

I'm concerned about using aziderm cream for the black spots on my face. After applying it, I felt a burning sensation after just a few minutes. Is this a normal reaction, or could there be a problem with the cream? I'm really looking to find a safe way to get rid of these spots. What do you suggest?
The burning sensation you are experiencing after applying aziderm cream is a common side effect, especially if you have sensitive skin. It may be due to the active ingredient in the cream, which is azelaic acid. If the burning sensation is severe or persistent, you should discontinue the use of the cream and consult your doctor. To remove black spots on your face, you can consider using a different cream containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids. Some options include Melalite cream, Kojivit gel, or Retin-A cream. These creams can help lighten the dark spots and improve the overall appearance of your skin.
