I've been using Faiza cream for about six months, but after I stopped, my face broke out with pimples and acne, and it's gotten way oilier. I'm really worried about this. How can I recover from these issues and work towards getting fairer skin? Can you please help me?

To help with the pimples, acne, and oily skin, you can try using a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to unclog pores and reduce oiliness. Additionally, a topical retinoid cream like Retin-A can help with acne and promote skin cell turnover. To lighten your skin, you can consider using a cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid, but make sure to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Remember to always use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

I'm really worried because my nails have this blackish fungus on them and they're all uneven. I've been looking for ways to clear it up and get them back to looking normal and whitish. I heard about this Grisovin FP 250 mg tablet. Do you think that's a good option for dealing with this? Any ideas on how to tackle this problem?
