My mom's been using Medisalic ointment during the winter months, and she's noticed that brown spots start showing up on her face. It's weird because she uses the same ointment in the summer and doesn't get these spots. Her skin's also pretty dry. Could you help us figure out why this might be happening? We're really puzzled about what's going on.

The brown spots may be due to the combination of medication, winter dryness, and increased sun sensitivity. Protecting the skin with sunscreen, using the ointment sparingly, and ensuring proper hydration can help manage this issue. If the problem persists or gets worse, its always a good idea to seek further advice from a dermatologist to tailor the treatment specifically to her skin type.

If I stop using it for even just a couple of days, my face gets dark, itchy, and rashy. Plus, I started noticing more hair on my face after using it. I really want to stop using the cream and get rid of these issues, but I've read that your face might look worse if you stop after using it long term. I'm honestly a bit scared. What should I do?
