View allI've been using Skinlite for a couple of days now, and I'm really worried because the skin around my black spots has gotten worse. It's turned red and then turned black. What can I do to get my skin back to normal?
You can apply a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1 week to reduce inflammation. Additionally, use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion to keep the skin hydrated. Make sure to protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm struggling a lot with melasma and it's been going on for about 2 years now. I've seen so many doctors and tried different treatments, but nothing seems to work. Is there a permanent solution to this issue? It's getting quite frustrating.
Consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment, and consider combination therapies like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser therapy, and topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids, which can help manage melasma, although a complete cure is challenging.

I'm looking for a minoxidil product at 5% strength that doesn't have alcohol or propylene glycol. The one I'm using right now is in lotion form, but it's causing some really bad itching. Do you have any recommendations for something else I could try?
-You can try a *minoxidil 5% foam* instead of lotion, as its alcohol- and propylene glycol-free, reducing the chances of itching. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist for alternatives.
