I've been using Melas cream for about 23 days, and now my face is turning red. What should I do to get rid of this redness? Is it normal, or should I stop using the cream? Would appreciate any advice!

To alleviate redness caused by Melas cream, discontinue use, apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer (e.g., Cetaphil, Aloe vera), and use a cool compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to reduce inflammation; if redness persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.
