Is there a cream or ointment I can use to lighten the dark patches on my face and neck, considering that I have prediabetes and a thyroid condition, and am currently taking Glycomet SR and Obelit 60?

Often, these patches improve as we manage underlying insulin levels with your metformin (Glycomet SR). For topical relief, a dermatologist can recommend safe creams containing generic ingredients like azelaic acid or glycolic acid. Since you are taking orlistat (Obelit 60) and managing thyroid health, it is best to avoid strong self-prescribed treatments. Please consult your doctor to find a gentle, safe option tailored just for you.
