Question

I've been dealing with some white patches on my face after using Dremz Hydroquinone cream and that Glowriance face wash with glycolic acid for my melasma. My doctor says it's this Tinea Versicolor infection. How long do you think it'll take for these patches to fade away? Also, are there any quick treatments like laser or dermabrasion that might help get rid of them faster?

Question

I'm really struggling with my skin right now. I've been using panderm plus cream for the last three years. It works well, but the side effects are messing me up. Every time I try to stop using it, my face starts itching, burning, breaking out, and gets all red and flaky in just two days. I'm desperate to stop using it but just can't handle how my skin reacts. Do you have any suggestions for something that won't have these crazy side effects and could help keep my skin clear and glowing?
