I've been using Tenovate GN and Brite cream for my face for about four years now. The problem is, whenever I stop using them, my skin darkens and I start getting pimples. I'm really worried about this. What could be going on with my skin, and is there a better way to handle it without relying on these creams?

Long-term use of topical steroids like Tenovate GN can lead to skin thinning, discoloration, and acne breakouts when discontinued abruptly. Brite cream is a combination of multiple ingredients that help with skin brightening. To address the darkening and pimples upon discontinuation, you can gradually taper off the use of Tenovate GN to prevent rebound effects. You can switch to a milder steroid cream like Hydrocortisone for a short period to help with the transition. For skin brightening, you can consider using products containing ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid.

Can I get my half sleeve tattoo on my left hand removed completely in one go with plastic surgery or something similar If that's possible, how much would it cost If not, what's the shortest time it could take and what's the estimated cost for that
It's unlikely you can remove a half-sleeve tattoo in a single session using plastic surgery or similar methods. Laser tattoo removal is the most common and effective method, but it typically requires multiple sessions. Surgical removal, like skin grafting, can leave scars and is best for larger tattoos
