I'm noticing some reddish spots on my right cheek and I've been using Melacare face cream to treat them. Is it really effective for dark spots, or should I be concerned about any side effects? If it's not recommended, could you suggest a good face cream that helps with skin glow and dark spot removal?

I'm really worried because I've been using propyzole for over two months now, along with atarax, but it seems like it's getting worse instead of better. It's expanding more and more. What should I do next? It's really frustrating to see no improvement. Could there be something else affecting it?

I'm worried about my son's new wife because her dad has vitiligo, and I didn't think much of it before. The girl, my daughter-in-law now, doesn't show any signs of it so far. I've just learned that vitiligo can be hereditary. What are the chances she might develop it? And what precautions or treatments can we consider to prevent her or future children from getting vitiligo?

Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .
