I've been dealing with skin pigmentation issues, specifically hyperpigmentation, under my nose and around my mouth for over two years now. I've tried using homeopathy medicines, but they haven't completely solved the problem. Are there any home remedies I could try to help with this?

Ive been on Acutret 20 since the end of May and usually check in with my doctor monthly. My last visit was in mid-July, where he told me to keep taking Acutret 20 after breakfast and Azid 500 before dinner three times a week for two weeks. Since then, my acne has gotten a bit better, with just 23 pimples popping up in the last month. Unfortunately, I cant see him until September 9th. Should I keep taking these meds or should I stop until I can get more advice?
It's great to hear that your acne has improved with the current treatment regimen. Acutret 20 (Isotretinoin) is a powerful medication for acne, and Azithromycin 500 (Azid 500) is an antibiotic that helps combat bacterial infections. Given your situation, here are some guidelines to consider: Continuing Treatment 1. Acutret 20: You can continue taking Acutret 20 as prescribed (after breakfast) until you can meet your doctor again. 2. Azid 500: Since you've been instructed to take Azid 500 thrice a week for 2 weeks, you can complete the remaining course (if any) as directed.
