Brief Answer:
Can continue treatment as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
You have been very rightly prescribed for your skin problems by your treating dermatologist.
You have been given both anti acne drugs along with skin lightening agents .
It is good that you have noticed improvement after applying the medicines but still I would advise you to be in continuous follow up with your treating doctor .
Once the patients condition improves ,the doctor usually shifts the patient to comparatively milder agents which do not cause any irritation or redness .
Also all the three medicines need to be strictly used under medical supervision according to the doctors advise .
So you need not worry about any side effects as long as you are seeing your doctor on regular basis and taking treatment as advised .

Thanks for ur suggestion

But my one more query is that
As u know cutilite contain Hydroquinone and Tretinion they are bleaching agent and they have many side effect as i search in google

With knowing all these effects i have to continue my treatment. I am not having any knowledge in medical field and i am only 19 year old. If it is not good for me then i am happy with my earlier skin.

So plzz clear all these query .

Brief Answer:
Need not worry ,regular follow up with your doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

You are right that both hydroquinone and tretinoin are bleaching agents and have few side effects of not properly used .This is the reason why I insisted again and again that you should continue using these medicines only under the supervision of dermatologist.
These agents have to be applied only for few months at a time and then they need to be slowly stopped ,hence follow up with a dermatologist is very essential when using these . But at the same time these two are very good skin lightening agents and are widely used by dermatologists all over .So they are not harmful to skin when used supervision and as advised by your doctor .

Hope it helps
