I'm a bit concerned because I started using the proanagen solution for my hair fall just like the doc suggested, but after just one use, my hair fall seems to have gotten much worse. Should I keep using it, or is this a sign I should stop? What do you think I should do?

I'm noticing some reddish spots on my right cheek and I've been using Melacare face cream to treat them. Is it really effective for dark spots, or should I be concerned about any side effects? If it's not recommended, could you suggest a good face cream that helps with skin glow and dark spot removal?
