I've been using Skinlite cream for about 6 months now and it's really changed my fairness. But I know it's not good to use it long-term. What can I do to keep my skin tone the same without continuing the Skinlite cream? Any cream recommendations would be really helpful! I'm a bit worried about my skin adjusting, so any advice would be appreciated.

I'm using Jiaobi whitening cream, and I've noticed my skin's getting clearer and my dark spots are fading. But I'm wondering, is this cream actually safe for long-term use? Could there be any side effects I should be worried about? And is there any risk it might cause skin cancer? Just trying to make sure it's okay to keep using it.

I'm dealing with this macular amyloidosis and it's really getting on my nerves. I've got these pigmentation issues popping up on my upper back, legs, and hands, and now it's spreading to my neck too. The itching is just unbearable in these areas. Im really looking for some guidance on what kind of treatment I should go for. Is there any real cure for this?

Macular amyloidosis is a chronic skin condition that can be challenging to treat. To help manage the pigmentation and itching, I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream such as Clobetasol propionate 0.05%. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Loratadine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. It is important to keep the skin well moisturized, so I suggest using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil. Avoid scratching the affected areas to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
