I'm really worried about my skin. I've been using face bleach for the past year, and whenever I stop, it seems like my skin gets even darker. Is there any medication or treatment you'd recommend to lighten my skin safely? Also, I've noticed my skin is getting pretty loose lately. What can I do to tighten it back up?

I've been using Melas cream for about 23 days, and now my face is turning red. What should I do to get rid of this redness? Is it normal, or should I stop using the cream? Would appreciate any advice!

To alleviate redness caused by Melas cream, discontinue use, apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer (e.g., Cetaphil, Aloe vera), and use a cool compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to reduce inflammation; if redness persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.
