I've been dealing with this birthmark on my left cheek and after six rounds of laser treatment, it hasn't really lightened. I'm wondering if there are other ways to lighten birthmarks? Are there any creams or meds you'd recommend?

I'm really stressed out because my skin's gotten darker from using pads. I've tried different home remedies and creams, but it's only made things worse, and now I've lost my original skin tone. I can't stand the way my skin looks right now and it's affecting my confidence. Can anyone guide me on how to fix this and get my normal skin back?
it seems like you may be experiencing a condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. To help lighten the darkened areas and restore your skin tone, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One example of a suitable cream is Melalite Forte cream, to be applied once daily at night on the affected areas. Additionally, using a sunscreen with high SPF daily is crucial to prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to apply the sunscreen generously and reapply every few hours if you are outdoors. It is also important to avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible. Remember to be patient as it may take several weeks to see noticeable improvement in your skin tone.
