Ive been struggling with severe skin damage for the last 3 years. My family doctor initially prescribed Melalite XL, which I used on my face and neck. Unfortunately, I've now developed dark patches on my chin and cheeks. They look really bad, and it's been really frustrating not finding any relief despite consulting various skin doctors. Could you please guide me on what else I can do to improve my skin condition?
