I've been dealing with Melasma for about 45 years now, and it's really noticeable because of my fair skin. There are these dark patches on my cheekbones. I tried cosmo peel and laser treatments about two years ago, but they didn't help at all. A dermatologist suggested I use Triluma cream twice a week, so I've been trying it out for the past two weeks. My skin's started flaking and feels really dry, and whenever I put on my Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen, I get this burning, tingling sensation. Is this normal?

I've been taking Follihair for the last couple of weeks, and ever since, I've noticed I'm gaining weight and losing my appetite. Plus, my skin is breaking out quite a bit too. I'm really concerned about these changes and wondering what might be causing them. Could it be related to the Follihair? What should I do about these issues?
