I'm really worried because my upper lips have become quite dark, and I'm not sure what would be the best thing to use for this. I'm trying to decide between melalumin lip lightening cream and lipzlite lip lightening cream. Which one would you recommend for better results?

I'm dealing with pimples and these small holes on my face. I talked to a dermatologist, and they suggested Adapalene gel and Opexa gel. I've been using the Adapalene gel, and it's helping with the pimples, but the holes aren't getting any better. I haven't started using the Opexa gel yet. Should I try it out to see if it helps with those holes?

I've been diagnosed with LPP after a biopsy, and I'm dealing with black pigmentation on my face, underarms, and neck. At first, I didn't think much of it, but it's been spreading. I've been on medication for about six months now, using tacrolimus ointment since September 2016, and I did phototherapy for a while. But after phototherapy, my skin got so dry and dark that I just had to stop because it was really getting me down. My new doctor prescribed me Depiwhite and Pynomax TX cream for alternate nights and xamic tablets for a month. The thing is, when I looked up xamic, it seems to be meant for stopping excessive menstrual bleeding, but my periods are pretty regular, so I'm kind of worried about taking it. Could you please offer some advice on what I should do?

It is understandable to have concerns about taking a medication that is typically used for a different purpose. In your case, Xamic tablet (Tranexamic Acid) can also be used to reduce skin pigmentation and improve skin tone in conditions like LPP. The recommended dosage for skin pigmentation is usually 250-500mg twice daily. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and continue with the prescribed treatment plan. If you have any further concerns or experience any side effects, it is best to discuss them with your doctor for proper guidance.
