How can I achieve bright and glowing skin on my face?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I want fair and bright skin. My face is darker than my hands and feet, so I want my skin to look white and glowing.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

I am very sorry about your medical condition and am glad that you are paying attention to changes in your body. Do not worry; I am here to take care of you. Thank you for sharing this.

You have hyperpigmented skin with comedone skin lesions (dry, dead debris deposited on the skin). Here is a breakdown of what might be happening and how to approach it beyond temporary fixes:

Why your dark skin pigmentation keeps coming back:

  1. Hormonal imbalance: Especially if acne worsens around your period, on your jawline or chin, or during stress.

  2. Oily skin and clogged pores: If your skin is naturally oily, topical creams alone may not fully manage it.

  3. Diet or gut health: High sugar, dairy, or processed foods can trigger inflammation in sensitive people.

  4. Incorrect skincare: Using harsh products or over-washing can damage your skin barrier.

Long-term treatment options:

Medical options (stronger but effective):

  1. Topical 0.2 percent Tacrolimus cream.

  2. Topical ointment 0.05 percent Clobetasol once daily.

  3. 0.2 percent Hydrocortisone cream twice daily for one month.

  4. Tablet Minocycline 500 mg orally three times daily for one week.

  5. Topical two percent Resorcinol once daily.

  6. Topical 0.1 percent Tretinoin twice daily.

  7. 20 percent Azelaic acid once daily.

  8. Five percent Dapsone gel once daily for one month.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
