Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
The forehead portion above my eyes and the portion of my face around my eyes became black around four years ago. Please find the photo of my face attached here. I never took any medicine. For the last four months, I am taking some natural remedies such as turmeric, aloe vera, etc. Please suggest any proper medicine for this. Also, please see the pores on my cheek. Are these pores curable? My skin is oily always. Please suggest if any type of skin examination is to be made for better suggestion. I am using sunscreen lotion now.
Could you please suggest any sunscreen lotion from medical grounds?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and have seen your photographs (attachment removed to protect patient identity). What I have seen is a blackish pigmentation over your forehead and around your eye along with ice pick, rolling and pock-like scars over your cheeks. The blackish pigmentation is termed periorbital hyper melanosis. The main culprits are stress factors including lack of sleep, overt sun exposure, etc.

Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
As Kojivit is not available in my area, I have ordered it online. After using Suncross Aquagel sunscreen there are some acne or pimples on my face. Is it a normal side effect of the lotion? I am using Lacto Calamine lotion or raw lemon juice at night. So after using lemon for 15 minutes can I use Kojivit? And also along with Kojivit can I use Lacto Calamine?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Once you get Kojivit, you can apply for the black marks and darkness around your eyes along with sunscreen which is a must. Stop applying lemon juice and Lacto Calamine. Lacto Calamine lotion will clog the pores and will produce pimples. Suncross Aquagel usually will not produce pimples because it is a gel and easily dries on the skin once it is applied.
