I've been using Melacare for about 4 years now and I'm thinking of stopping. I'm a bit worried though, if I stop using it, will my skin be able to recover on its own or am I going to have to deal with hyperpigmentation forever?

I'm really worried because within just one year, I've noticed my hair is thinning so much and I'm even starting to see bald patches. It's like my hairline is receding too, and now I'm really concerned. I used to feel more confident and even a bit prettier when I had more hair. Do you think this might be something serious? Could it be from thyroid issues or maybe it's genetics? I'm just not sure what's happening, and frankly, I'm feeling freaked out. Any advice on what's causing this and what I could possibly do to stop or slow it down?
