I've noticed my skin is getting darker, and I've got these patches with hard, dry areas. I was told it might be macular amyloidosis, so a doctor prescribed glutathione pills and some creams, but I didn't see any improvement and stopped. I'm really worried because I'm not sure if there's a permanent solution to this. Is there a more effective treatment out there?

Macular amyloidosis is a chronic skin condition that may not respond well to topical creams alone. However, there are other treatment options available. One option is to use topical corticosteroids to help reduce inflammation and itching. Another option is phototherapy, which involves exposing the affected skin to ultraviolet light. In some cases, oral medications such as antihistamines or immunosuppressants may be prescribed. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case.

View allI'm really worried because I used Skin Brite cream on half of my face where I had a pimple, and now that part has turned much whiter than the rest. It's really noticeable and looks quite cheap, especially when I'm out in the daylight. Can you please advise on what I should do?
you can gently apply the cream all over the face for a period advised by your doctor,no need to worry the skin tone would become even with time.

I've been using MELALUMIN cream for over two months now to deal with pigmentation on my face, particularly around my nose on both sides. At first, it seemed to work well in the first month, but now I don't see any improvements. Could my skin have become resistant to the ingredients? Can you suggest a better alternative for dealing with this pigmentation issue?
An alternative cream that you can try for pigmentation is Hydroquinone in combination with Tretinoin cream and corticosteroid cream. You can apply a thin layer of this combination cream once daily at night. Make sure to use a sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further pigmentation.
