I've been using Doxycycline 100mg, deriva bpo gel, and saslic ds face wash as part of my skincare routine for about 15 days now, just like my dermatologist suggested, and they want me to continue for another 15 days. But I've noticed my face is getting darker, especially around the eyes, which I think could be hyperpigmentation from the deriva bpo. Even though my doctor saw the pictures and thinks I should keep going, I'm really worried about this change. What should I do?

View allI'm wondering if Femcinol A gel is effective in getting rid of acne and acne scars? I've been using it for a week now and I'm curious if it usually takes longer to see results. Could you let me know what to expect?
Femcinol A gel contains Clindamycin and Nicotinamide which are effective in treating acne. It may take some time to show noticeable results, typically around 6-8 weeks of regular use. It is important to continue using it as prescribed by your healthcare provider for the best outcome.

I've been using the Skin Lite cream for a couple of months, and now my skin's turned really reddish. I'm worried and not quite sure what to do next. Can you tell me if I'm using it wrong or if there's another cream I should be trying to fix this issue?

I'm 20 and I've been using Skin Lite cream, and it made my face fair for the first couple of days, but then I started noticing some side effects. My face doesn't have pimples or acne, but it's turned really dark, and no other products seem to be helping. I'm getting worried and not sure what to do. Could you please give me some advice on how to deal with this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation as a side effect of using the skin lite cream. To help improve the darkening of your face, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is "Melalite XL cream" which can be applied once at night for a few weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day with at least SPF 30 is essential to prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
