I accidentally burned my leg while using steam and now that it's healed, I'm worried about the marks it left behind. Can you recommend a cream that could help reduce or eliminate these marks?

I'm really worried after using Faiza cream for 3 months. It did clear up my pimples and dark marks, and my skin looks so much fairer, which was great at first. But then I read online that it might have side effects like skin cancer, and now I'm freaking out. I'm thinking about stopping the cream, but I'm scared if that might cause any problems. Can you help me figure out what to do?

I've got really dry skin and I'm struggling to find a good cream. I tried using dewsoft cream, but after about three days, I ended up with some small pimple-like bumps on my face. Could you please recommend something else? I'm really worried and would love your advice.
