I've tried so many over-the-counter options like Quadriderm and Triben Plus, but they only seem to work for a bit before the itch comes right back. Even the home remedies I've tried don't seem to help. What can I do to finally get rid of this?

I've been wondering if there's a way to permanently reduce melanin in my skin. I'm a bit concerned about the safety aspects too, like are there any side effects or risks I should know about when using creams that lower melanin levels? I want to make sure I'm taking the right steps to avoid any skin diseases. What do you think?
Reducing melanin permanently is not possible, as melanin production is a natural process in the body. However, there are ways to lighten the skin temporarily using topical creams containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids. It is important to use these creams as directed by a dermatologist to avoid any potential side effects.
