I've been struggling with pimples lately, and a friend mentioned that Erytop cream might help clear them up. I'm curious if it's actually effective for acne treatment. Could you tell me more about how it works and if there are any side effects I should be aware of before trying it?

I'm studying airport management, and I've been feeling like my skin color is affecting my confidence. Is there a way to lighten my skin quickly? Also, I'm struggling with darkness under my eyes. What can I do about that?

To lighten your skin and reduce under eye darkness, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone for skin lightening. Additionally, for under eye darkness, you can use a cream containing retinol or vitamin C to help brighten the under eye area. Make sure to apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from further darkening. Also, getting enough sleep and staying hydrated can help improve the appearance of your skin.

I've been using Betnovate N cream on and off for about 10 years, and now I've got these dark spots on my cheeks near my nose. I'm seeing a dermatologist who told me to use Azelaic acid cream 20 at night for just 30 minutes and Dermadew Glow cream during the day. It's almost been a month and I don't really see any improvement. I'm really stressed about these spots. What do you think about this treatment?

Prolonged usage betnovate cream would have made your skin sensitive,and lead for hyperpigmention,it takes time to heal have patience and follow your doctors advice.
