I've been using Lomela cream for my acne and pigmentation because a friend recommended it to me. I'm curious about how long I'm supposed to keep using it after I see results. Do I need to continue applying it to maintain those results? If so, for how long should that be? I'm just trying to figure out the right approach.

Lomela cream contains hydroquinone, mometasone, and tretinoin which are used to treat hyperpigmentation and acne. It is usually recommended to use this cream for a limited period of time, typically around 4-8 weeks, to see visible results. Once you have achieved the desired results, you can gradually reduce the frequency of application. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider or dermatologist to determine the appropriate duration of treatment based on your individual response and skin condition.

I've been having this issue where every time I shave down there, I end up with these strange red bumps. I'm really clueless about what might be causing this and how I can prevent it. Could you give me some advice or suggestions on what I should do?

The red lumps may be a sign of contact dermatitis. This generally refers to an allergic inflammatory reaction on the skin seen due to contact with the metal of the shaving razor. You may want to switch to a ceramic blade, which is considerably less irritating to the skin. Also consider using soothing aftershaves, lotions or anti-inflammatory creams.
