Face skin color change
I have some color change at the upper cheeks and forehead of face. My doc has prescribed me glyco 6 cream and tretin0.025% cream with vitamin c chewable capsule. I have been using this from one month but I couldn't find any change.
Please suggest whether i should continue with this or not?

From your description it appears you are having melasma.
It is because of abnormal pigment deposits in various layers of the skin.
It takes upto 6 weeks for creams to show any effect. You should visit your doctor after 6 weeks to evaluate progress and decide on further course of action.
Or You can send photographs for further evaluation by us.
