I'm looking for some advice on dealing with keloids. I've already tried the injections, but I haven't seen the results I was hoping for. Are there any scar removal creams that might help lighten the color of keloids? I'd really like to know if there's something that could work for me.

I've been using Getlite cream with hydroquinone and mometasone for the last two years. Now my skin's gone really white, but when I try to stop using the cream, my skin gets darker, even worse than before. Im worried its not good to keep using it long-term because of potential problems. I'm really hoping to stop using this cream. How can I wean off of it and keep my skin looking healthy without going back to how it was? A neighbor, who's a pharmacist, recommended it, but I'm not sure what to do. Any advice on maintaining my skins glow once I stop this cream?

I'm dealing with some skin issues and have a noticeable black spot on my face. I'm considering using Melacare cream and Sunstop 30 cream. Do you think these products would be effective for this kind of problem, or is there something else you would recommend? I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects too.
