I've been dealing with a pigmentation issue and visited a dermatologist for help. They suggested I use Melapik Ever cream on my face at night. But when I woke up, my face felt itchy and had a burning sensation. After using it for a couple more days, my skin became incredibly dry, and a whitish layer appeared all over. Plus, my skin seems darker than it was before. I told the doctor about these reactions, and they advised me to stop using the cream. Is this a normal reaction? What should I do next to get my skin back to normal?

I'm dealing with these really itchy rashes on my thighs and groin area, but thankfully my penis isn't affected. It's really uncomfortable because it chafes, bleeds, and itches so badly that I'm scratching constantly, both day and night. I can't even sleep since I can't resist the urge to scratch. What's worrying me is that it's starting to spread to my buttocks too. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

I'm thinking about taking vitamin supplements after my CO2 fraxel laser resurfacing. I'm hoping it might help reduce the downtime. Could you tell me if that's a good idea? If so, what vitamins should I consider and how much should I take?

Taking Vitamin C and Vitamin E supplements post Co2 fraxel laser resurfacing can help in reducing downtime and promoting faster healing. You can take Vitamin C 1000mg daily and Vitamin E 400 IU daily to aid in the healing process.
