Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  • Firstly were you diagnosed by a doctor for measles?
    • How many days has it been since the rashes subsided?
      • Generally, the marks lighten themselves within two months after the rashes subside.
        • So, treatment needs to be started after that.
          • If you could send some photos I will be able to better judge the potency of the medication needed.
            • Treatment depends on the stage of healing.
