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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Stopping Melacare may cause:
- Rebound hyperpigmentation (temporary)
- Skin recovery with proper skincare and sun protection
- Ongoing hyperpigmentation management
Post-Melacare skincare:
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+)
- Moisturize with a gentle moisturizer
- Exfoliate regularly
- Consider alternative treatments

I've been dealing with a lot of acne and now have these stubborn nail and acne marks on my face. I'm also still getting some acne. What can I do to get rid of these marks and improve my skin?
To help with acne marks and prevent new acne breakouts, you can use a combination of topical treatments. You can use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel in the evening to help with acne and improve skin texture. In the morning, you can apply a Vitamin C serum to help with skin brightening and collagen production. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. Make sure to follow a consistent skincare routine and be patient as it may take some time to see results.
