Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
The color of the skin on my face is too dark when compared to the skin on my nose, cheeks, and rest of my body. How can I restore the original color on my face?
Hi,
I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.
I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.
The skin often darkens due to tanning under the effect of UV (ultraviolet) rays. I would strongly recommend using a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30. The sunscreen has to be applied at least half an hour before you go out and has to be reapplied every four hours till evening. I suggest trying skin lightening cream like Biluma (Kojic acid) at night. Alternatively, you could visit your dermatologist for chemical peels like Lactic acid or Glycolic acid peels. Whatever the treatment, sun protection is a must.
Thank you for consulting me.
You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
