I've been using Cadila Skin Shine cream for about 6 months now. At first, it worked wonders on my face, but lately, I've occasionally noticed some irritation and red rashes. I stopped using it a week ago, and now my skin looks much darker than before. What can I do to fix this? I'm really concerned about getting my skin back to its original tone. Any advice would be appreciated!

I'm curious about this change in my treatment plan. My new doctor switched me from minoxidil to proanagen solution and kera XL serum. She mentioned it's to avoid dependency on minoxidil. Does this sound like the right approach to you?

This can be a reasonable approach to prevent dependency on minoxidil. Proanagen solution contains minoxidil along with other ingredients to promote hair growth, while Kera XL serum is likely a hair care product to support overall hair health. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and use these medications as prescribed. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further guidance.
