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 dealing with some white patches on my face after using Dremz Hydroquinone cream and that Glowriance face wash with glycolic acid for my melasma. My doctor says it's this Tinea Versicolor infection. How long do you think it'll take for these patches to fade away? Also, are there any quick treatments like laser or dermabrasion that might help get rid of them faster?

as it is a fungal infection it would resolve soon,follow your doctors advice and have patience
