I'm really worried and could use some advice. A while back, I used this ointment called Lobate GM on my face when I had just a few pimples. I went through 2 or 3 tubes of it, hoping it would help, but my skin got way worse. I ended up seeing a dermatologist and did a treatment for six months. Now, I've still got these red marks where the pimples were and I'm not sure what to do about them. Could you give me some guidance on what might help fade these marks?

It sounds like you may be dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from the acne. To help lighten the red marks left by the pimples, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with high SPF during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. Make sure to follow up with your skin specialist for further guidance and monitoring of your progress.

View allI'm dealing with a skin problem and my doctor prescribed me Accura for 10 days. I'm also trying to get pregnant right now, so I'm not sure if I should be taking these tablets. Could you help me figure out if it's okay to take them, or should I avoid using them while I'm trying to conceive?
Accura tablets contain isotretinoin, a retinoid used to treat severe acne and other skin conditions. However, isotretinoin is known to cause birth defects and should be avoided during pregnancy.

I'm really confused about which product to use for skin lightening. I've got a darker skin tone and I've been looking into Kojivit gel, Kojivit cream, Kojivit plus, and Kojivit ultra. Among these, which one would be the most effective for me? I'm just unsure about all these options and would love some guidance.
Kojivit Ultra gel is more effective for skin lightening compared to Kojivit gel, cream, or Kojivit Plus. You can apply a thin layer of Kojivit Ultra gel on the affected skin area once daily in the evening. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from sun damage.
