Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 22-year-old female. I have dusky skin that is brown skin. I want to become fair. Can I use Kojivit gel? Can I use any other dermatology cream? Do you suggest any creams to get fair? I want to become fair as my marriage is going to get fixed by next year. Please suggest me some creams, so that it should not show any side effects. Also, how long I should use it? If I use anything, then will it have any effect in case of pregnancy?

Please help me.

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

One's skin color has two components. The first one is genetic, which cannot be changed. Every skin color is beautiful in its own way, and we should learn to love our skin color and augment it and not hide or lighten it. The second component is acquired, which is due to the influence of the environment, sunlight, hormones, aging, etc. I suggest your antioxidant capsules, like capsule Antoxid HC (Beta-carotene) and apply sunscreen lotion Lashield gel at 8 AM and 12 PM. Also, you can apply Glyaha Kojic Lotion (Hydroquinone) at nighttime. Start with an alternate-night application initially, as it may irritate your skin a bit and after a week or so, shift to a daily night application. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the treatment with consent. You can go for chemical peeling or microdermabrasion from your dermatologist, which will help in exfoliating and give you a clearer skin tone. All these treatments are free of side effects. You may use them for three months.

Thank you for consulting me.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

Yes, you can also use Kojivit Plus gel (Kojic acid) instead of Glyaha koj gel till you get a bit lighter. Nutritious diet rich in antioxidants such as green vegetables and fresh fruits and avoidance of stress will help. For good and glowing skin, take proper sleep and plenty of water. Do not step out in the sun without wearing a sunscreen.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

Yes, the antoxid capsule makes the skin tone even and protects you from sun rays. You can also take Oxidon plus capsule (Beta-carotene) if Antoxid is not available. It has to be taken once daily any time in the day with water or milk and continue for three months. After Kojivit plus gel, you can use Ban A Tan cream on your face for maintenance for another two to three months. It has to be used twice daily. For your tanned hands, again sunscreen is required during the day and Glomella cream (combination of Hydroquinone and Tretinoin) can be used at night time for three weeks to lighten the color of the hands. Maintain it with sunscreen after three weeks.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
