Is playing higher difficulty map (5.5* for me) an then coming back to fc 4.2 - 4.5* map a good way to improve at osu?

Basically, I find it difficult to fc map that are 4.2 to 4.5* and 1k combo or longer and I was wondering if I should just go play 5* map to improve my skill.

Is it a good way to improve, will it help at all?

4.2 and 5.5 (or even 5) stars is a big jump. YOu are skipping a huge range of difficulties. Why?

Tell me Wheein isn't gorgeous and see what happens

It's just that I am already able to play them well, there's not any good reason behind it it's just that my limit is 5.5* so I was wondering if I should push myself to the limit to improve

Go for it, but also play easier ones if you want to hold bigger combos. Around 3'7-4'3.

Worst osu player effort/reward.

Trying to extend your limits is a good idea.
Trying to get consistent by also playing those 4* maps is also a good idea.
I'd say this will definitely bring your forward.

Osu is a wonderful game for pushing yourself and you will find great skill gains in doing so. But be sure to take some time every few days and gain some consistency unless you wanna be that one guy in multi with 84% account acc and can't stop breaking every 15 combo

Stop doing the same things everyone has already done. The world needs what you can bring to the table.
