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?

I live abroad in Saudi Arabia and recently purchased Pigmanorm cream, which contains hydroquinone, for my melasma and dyspigmentation. After using it for 3 days, the area where I applied it turned really red. I'm quite worried about this reaction, even though I'm also using Eveline sunscreen SPF 50 in the afternoons. Should I stop using the cream, or should I continue? And will the redness on my skin go away on its own? I'm also sharing a picture of my face and the cream I used to help you understand better. Can you guide me on what to do next?
