I'm currently using Eflora Cream to tackle unwanted hair growth on my face, but I've noticed I have pimples too. Is it still okay to keep applying the cream? Should I be concerned about any side effects? I'm a 26-year-old woman and would appreciate some guidance.

I've been using Melacare for a long time, but then I started traveling a lot for work between Pune and Mumbai, and my skin is now completely sunburned and darker.

Could you guide us on how to care for this at home or if we need to see a specialist?
