I'm struggling with dark and oily skin on my face and I really want to lighten it up. Can you recommend a cream that can help with melanin removal? I'm quite worried and looking for something that genuinely works.

I've been bitten by an insect and the area is really itchy and red. There's no swelling, but the skin looks reddish and a bit blackish. I've been using T Bact ointment, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be applying. Any advice on what ointments might help?

Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been using Betnovate N cream on and off for about 10 years, and now I've got these dark spots on my cheeks near my nose. I'm seeing a dermatologist who told me to use Azelaic acid cream 20 at night for just 30 minutes and Dermadew Glow cream during the day. It's almost been a month and I don't really see any improvement. I'm really stressed about these spots. What do you think about this treatment?

Prolonged usage betnovate cream would have made your skin sensitive,and lead for hyperpigmention,it takes time to heal have patience and follow your doctors advice.
