I've been dealing with these dark spots on my face for quite a while now and despite trying different products, nothing seems to work. Could you please recommend a medicine that might help in getting rid of them?

Dark spots on the face can be treated with topical creams containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. You can apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the dark spots once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day can help prevent further darkening of the spots. Remember to consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.

I've been using Skinlite cream for a month, but I had to stop because of redness and some side effects. Now my face is darker than before and I've got inflammation around my cheeks. How can I get back to my normal skin?

I've got this chicken pox scar on the right side of my forehead that's pigmented and a bit deep. I really want it to match the rest of my skin, even if the depth stays the same. Would it be possible to get rid of the pigmentation so it looks like my normal skin color? I'm open to the idea of a small surgery if that's what it takes. Could you give me some advice on this?

For the pigmented scar on your forehead, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the pigmentation. Additionally, you may benefit from laser therapy such as PicoSure or Fraxel to further improve the appearance of the scar. In some cases, a dermatologist may recommend a chemical peel to help reduce the pigmentation. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your specific scar.
