I've been dealing with some pimples on my face, and my dermatologist advised me to use Melapik Ever cream at night along with the Lumiedge bathing bar. After trying it for just one day, I started experiencing itching, burning sensations, and extreme dryness on my face. Plus, my skin has gotten noticeably darker. Now, the doctor suggested switching to Kojiglow Forte cream. Could you let me know if this is the right move? I'm a bit concerned.

It is possible that your skin is sensitive to the ingredients in these products. Kojiglow Forte cream contains Kojic acid, Arbutin, and Vitamin C which are commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin. If you continue to experience itching, burning, extreme dryness, or any other discomfort, I recommend stopping the use of all products and consulting with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with acne issues for the past two months and it's been really tough on me. I've had darkness around my mouth and on my eyelids since I was a kid, and the acne is making everything worse. I get breakouts all the time and my skin has become so oily. Even though I wash my face every few hours, it gets oily again really quickly. It's making me feel so self-conscious whenever I'm talking to someone face to face. I just want to clear up my skin. I've tried so many creams, but nothing seems to work. The pimple marks just keep getting darker. I also have dandruff and use a special shampoo to manage it, which has helped a bit. But now I'm dealing with a lot of hair loss when I comb or wash my hair. Do you have any home remedies that could help with my acne and hair fall? It's really affecting my self-esteem.
