I've been struggling with pigmentation on my cheeks, and I've been using HH Lite Cream. It's really helped, and the pigmentation has completely disappeared. But I'm worried because whenever I stop using the cream, the spots come back, and there's also this itchy sensation. Why does this happen, and what can I do about it?

-Its great your pigmentation has improved, but HH Lite isnt a long-term solution. Switch to a gentle skincare routine with sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily to prevent reoccurrence, and consult a dermatologist for alternatives.

I'm wondering if I should keep taking the POPSON INTAS tablets that my doctor recommended. I'm supposed to have one in the morning and one at night, but when I took it just once at night, I ended up with body pain, especially in my hands, legs, and joints, and I felt really dizzy. I stopped taking it for now because I wasn't feeling well. Should I continue with this medication despite these side effects?

Kindly stop taking the medication, you can start taking tab Aceclofenac 100 mg ,orally once daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.

I'm struggling with really oily skin, and it's like my face is covered in open pores and acne. It's been driving me crazy, and I'm really hoping you might have some advice on a good face gel or any remedies that might help. Also, if you know of any skin specialists who could help, that would be awesome. I'm kinda worried and would appreciate any guidance you can give!

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
