I've been using this skin lightening cream for about 5 years, but I recently stopped. Now I'm having side effects like itching and irritation, plus my skin color has gotten darker. I'm really worried about this. Can you help me figure out what I should do?

Long-term use of skin-lightening creams like Skin Lite can cause skin damage and rebound darkening. Stop using the cream completely and avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen (SPF 30+). Keep your skin moisturized with gentle, fragrance-free creams. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment, such as medications or therapies to repair and even out your skin.

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 these mouth ulcers a lot, usually on the inside of my lip or on my gums. It's like a never-ending cycle, even though I'm drinking plenty of water and taking folic acid supplements. Could there be something more serious going on? I'm really hoping for some advice on what might be causing them to keep coming back.
