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?
