Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have an uneven skin tone with dark forehead and dry skin. I want to brighten my complexion. Also, I have small bumps and ingrown hair after waxing. I have attached pictures of the same. Please suggest a treatment.

Answered by Dr. Suvash Sahu

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and examined your picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You have developed ingrown hair or keratosis pilaris and also have dark circles. I suggest the following:

  1. Use Mometasone cream in the morning and evening daily over the ingrown hair.
  2. Apply Tacrolimus ointment 0.03 % daily at night over the sides of the thigh.
  3. Over the arms use Microbenz (Benzoyl peroxide topical) gel every day at bedtime.
  4. For dark circles use Melaglow new (Avobenzone topical) cream daily at bedtime.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him/her and take the medicines after their consent.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
