What are the ways to lighten lip and skin color?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 28-year-old female. I have a son, I used to be fair in my childhood but as I grew up I became dark. Now people say that I am dark and also my lips are very dark. I want to become fair. And I also want my lips to be light. I have tried many creams and soaps and did not get any results.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Skin tanning is a side effect of excessive sunlight exposure. Indian skin is very prone to tanning. I explain treatment and precautions point-wise manner

1. Avoid direct sunlight exposure as much as you can. Wear sunglass, cap and cover the exposed part of the body all the time

2. Use sunscreen thrice a day like 10 o'clock, 12 and 3 O clock all over the face

3. Sunscreen SPF should be around 50.

4. Use anti-pigmentation cream over pigmented parts like kojic acid, hydroquinone, and depiwhite cream.

5. If tanning is deep and too much then the ideal treatment is glycolic acid peels. Sittings of 6-8 peels must be required.

6. Never stop sunscreen even if tanning goes off.

7. Rule out thyroid, diabetes and obesity. All three factors help in tanning a lot.

Thank you.
