I've been using hydroquinone in the past to get flawless skin, and it worked really well for me. But then I had an acne breakout, so I stopped using it and switched to benzoyl peroxide cream. That cleared up my pimples, but now my skin is dark and pigmented. I'm not sure if I should start using hydroquinone again for the hyperpigmentation or if a chemical peel would be a better option. What do you think would work best for my situation?

View allI'm using melamet cream and my skin has become fairer and whiter, which is great. But now I'm thinking about stopping the cream. Can you suggest another cream that can help me maintain this skin tone without causing any side effects?
You can consider using a cream containing Kojic acid, Vitamin C, and Arbutin for maintaining skin tone without side effects. One such cream is "Kozilite-H Cream." Apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected areas. Don't forget to use sunscreen.

I'm using Benzoyl Peroxide, Benzac AC, Acnicin, Clindamycin, and Adapalene for my skin. I'm a bit confused about how to apply them. Should I be using one at night and the other in the morning, or is it better to alternate between them? Can you help me figure out the best routine?

I'm having some swelling and pitting in my left lower limbs, and it's been really bothering me. I've already done a sugar test, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. The venous scan suggested it might be cellulitis or edema. I'm a bit worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand what might be going on and what steps I should take now?
The swelling and pitting edema in your left lower limb, with scanning results suggesting cellulitis or edema, may indicate a vascular or infectious issue; consult primary care physician for further evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics, compression therapy, and elevation.
