I've been struggling with pimples on my face and decided to visit the doctor, who recommended the Melacare cream. I started using it, but now I'm dealing with some side effects like redness, itching, and even skin lightening. The tricky part is if I stop applying it, my face breaks out in pimples almost immediately. I'm really stuck on what to do next. Could you suggest any alternative remedies or a way to stop using this cream without making my skin issues worse?

I've been using Dk gel and Dazit M tablet for like 5 months, and suddenly I noticed these weird red spots on my thighs. They're not itchy or anything, but they went away as soon as I stopped with the Dazit M. So now I'm wondering if I can switch to LHist instead of Dazit M for maybe better results?
