I'm dealing with back acne that's leaving scars, and my doctor suggested I take Restreta twice a day before meals. I'm a bit concerned and curious; what exactly does this medication do?

View allI've been dealing with severe pigmentation on my hands and neck, and I'm really struggling to find something that works long-term. Initially, I tried using Glyaha Koj with Diprovate, and it seemed to help, but once I stopped, the discoloration came right back. Then I moved on to using Melacare and Skinlite, but unfortunately, they didn't make much of a difference. I'm now wondering if chemical peels could be a solution here. Do you think they might help with this stubborn pigmentation?
Chemical peels containing ingredients like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid can help in reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone. It is important to consult a dermatologist to determine the most suitable type and strength of chemical peel for your skin type and pigmentation severity. One commonly used chemical peel for pigmentation is Cosmelan. It is a depigmentation treatment that helps to reduce melanin production and lighten dark spots. The treatment involves applying the Cosmelan mask in the clinic and then following a specific at-home care regimen. For your severe pigmentation concern on hands and neck, a series of chemical peel sessions may be recommended, typically spaced a few weeks apart. It is important to follow post-peel care instructions diligently, including sun protection, to achieve the best results and prevent further pigmentation. Always consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your skin condition.

Is it safe to use these all together? Do you think this combo could help me get rid of it finally? I'm really concerned and would love some guidance on this.
