I've noticed these brown spots on my waist where I used to have lichen planus. Is there any kind of medication or treatment that can help lighten these spots? It's been a bit concerning for me, and I'd love some advice on what to do next.

I'm experiencing some irritation on my face after using Faiza beauty cream from Poonia Brothers in Pakistan for about a week. I'm thinking about stopping it, but I'm wondering if I should use a different cream to help with the irritation. What would you recommend?

To remedy the irritation caused by the Faiza Beauty Cream, stopping its use was the right step. Focus on gentle skincare, moisturization, and soothing remedies like aloe vera. If the irritation persists, seek advice from a dermatologist for further care.

I've been using Skinlite cream for about 6 months now, and I'm trying to stop, but every time I do, my face gets darker, so I've started again but only twice a week. The thing is, my face is still gradually getting darker. I'm not sure what to do. I gave Melaglow a try for fairer skin, but it didn't really work for me, so I stopped using it. Can you suggest something that would actually help brighten my skin? I've got a darker skin tone and would appreciate any advice.

That needs weaning off of Skinlite cream and using alternates,better to see Dermatologist for appropriate help
