What could be done to reduce dark pigmentation around my mouth?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have dry skin that usually becomes dull without constant care such as face masks and steaming. But my main problem is my dark under eye bags and the hyper pigmentation around my mouth area. Do you have any suggestion on what I can do to reduce the appearance of darkness around my mouth due to pigmentation? Also, please suggest a way to lighten under eye bags.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please apply fresh cucumber around the mouth area and under the eyes as it is very safe. Also, apply little Lactocalamine lotion in the same area. Apply fresh tomatoes peelings, take vitamin E capsule once daily for a month and vitamin B complex. Eat a lot of citrus fruits and drink lots of water. It would take little time, but the effects will start slowly appearing. Be patient and keep using these materials. Also, you can apply fresh aloe vera paste over this area.

Thank you.
