How to reduce pigmentation from the face?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have brown skin and have been dealing with pigmentation issues for a long time. There is darkness around my eyes, the top of my nose, around my mouth, and along my jawline. I used Tretinoin for four months to treat acne. While the acne has reduced, there has been no improvement in my pigmentation. How can I treat or cure this?
Please advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. Below are a few steps that you can follow to remove pigmentation from your skin.
- Relax and manage your stress levels, as stress can worsen skin issues.
- Avoid sun exposure during mid-day hours.
- Apply a lip balm with SPF (sun protection factor) every morning.
- Use a lip lightening cream at night for one month.
- Apply undereye brightening cream at night for three weeks to help reduce dark circles.
- Use Tyrodin (Ascorbic acid, Licorice extract, Niacinamide, Sodium hyaluronate, and Tranexamic acid) serum twice a week for one month on areas with dark spots.
- Apply Melaglow rich cream (Kojic acid dipalmitate) twice a week for six weeks on the same dark spots.
- Follow a diet rich in antioxidants, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins A and C.
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated.
- Apply sunscreen daily, 20 minutes before going outdoors.
- Take tablet Limcee (vitamin C) 500 mg once daily after dinner for 30 days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with their consent.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
