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 some skin issues after using cosmolite cream on my face for about 45 days. My skin turned black and has become super sensitive since then. I've tried different medicines, but nothing seems to be helping. I went to see a dermatologist, and she suggested I go through 8 sittings to lighten my skin back to its original color. I'm really anxious if this treatment would be suitable for my skin, and I'd like to know if there are any possible side effects involved. Could you provide some guidance on this?

yes that would help you follow your doctors advice

Got these water boils on my back and under my left arm near the breast. They're kinda painful, and I do get this very mild, rare itch. Also, sometimes I feel a pinch of pain in my chest. Could you suggest any medicine for this? Is it something serious, or is it curable?
