Prescribed Sofradex Cream For The Pigmentation On Face. Dark Patches Faded. Is This Cream Harmful?

my wife was prescribed sofradex cream for the dark pigmentation on her face, the dark patches seems to have faded a little, she had this for many years and got this after her delivery around 17 years ago, now i am wondering if this cream is harmful in any sort of way specially cancer and also she has been experiencing a slight pain in her right calf , a pinching sort of pain most probably on a nerve

hello

sofradex cream has no relation with any type of cancer or pain which your wife is experiencing . these are unrelated to its use. your wife is having melasma which is quite resistant to treatment . co2 laser resurfacing is another option if these still persist
