I'm really confused about my skincare routine. I've been using Sabi glow skin lite for the last three months, but now my doctor says I should stop and switch to just sunscreen and moisturizer. I'm pretty sure if I skip those creams for even a couple of days, the black spots will come back. I've been seeing doctors for over four years about this. Will this ever get better? How long will it take to see some real improvement? I'm just so frustrated with this whole situation.

continue medications as advised by the dermatologist.
