Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Pigmentation since childhood can be very difficult to be removed completely since pigmentation occurs as there are melanin cells present more in certain parts of one's body and face which varies from individual to individual. Lightening agents can be harmful if used for a long period. However, cosmetic procedures like lasers help in reducing the pigmentation to an extent when used with medications.

My advice :

1. Go for laser therapy for five to six sessions every four weeks at a laser clinic.

2. Use soap with skin whitening agents and antioxidants for bathing. Apply after lathering with water on the pigmented area, leave for two minutes, and wash off.

3. Use lotion with skin whitening agents and antioxidants at night on pigmented areas. Keep overnight and washed off in the morning. May be used for 8 to 12 months.

4. Capsule Evion 400 milligrams (Vitamin E capsule) after dinner daily for two months.

5. Tablet Limcee 500 (Vitamin C) chewable tablet after breakfast and after dinner for two months.

6. At home, apart from consuming capsule Evion 400 (Vitamin E capsule), they can also be broken open and the content can be mixed with aloe vera gel and applied on the pigmented areas, leave for three hours and wash off. May be done daily in the evening and they help reduce the intensity of the pigmentation.

Kindly consult with your doctor and take the medicine with their consent.

Thank you.
