I've tried all sorts of meds that doctors have prescribed, like itraconazole, terbinafine, and fluconazole, but nothing's really worked. Any advice on what I should do next? Feel like I'm running out of options here.

I've been using Melas cream for over a month, but I recently stopped because my skin keeps peeling. I'm really worried about how to get my skin back to normal. Do you have any recommendation on which cream might help with the recovery?

After stopping the use of Melas, it is important to allow your skin to recover. You can use a gentle moisturizing cream containing ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid to help soothe and hydrate your skin. Additionally, you can use a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Make sure to apply these creams as directed by the manufacturer or your healthcare provider. It is also important to protect your skin from further damage by avoiding sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
