I'm dealing with some tanning on my face and I'm really looking for help. Can you recommend a cream or any other solution that can get rid of the tanning without causing any side effects? I'm a bit worried about trying new products on my skin, so any safe suggestions would be really appreciated.

I recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such cream is Melalite Forte cream. Apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected areas of your face once at night. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to prevent further tanning.

I'm kind of worried because I've been using Panderm Plus for about a year now, and I want to stop because I'm starting to notice some side effects. Can you help me understand what might happen if I stop using it and offer any advice on how to safely discontinue it? Also, are there any specific side effects I should keep an eye out for?
