Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a very sensitive dark skin that is getting bleached by everything I apply on it, including olive oil, shea butter and many creams. What can I do?
Thank you.
Hi,
We welcome you to the icliniq.com family.
I appreciate the confidence you place in me for your healthcare consultation.
Regarding your symptoms, I propose you have developed a skin dermopathy. I suggest doing a serum cortisol level and reverting with the result. I suggest taking the following:
1. Ointment 0.2 % Tacrolimus (immunosuppressant) for eczema or atopic
2. Ointment 0.05 % Clobetasol (steroid) once daily or 0.2 % Hydrocortisone (steroid) for three months
I hope that you get your answer.
Please let me know if you have further queries.
Thank you.
