A horizontal black line on my nose. How do I remove it?

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 a horizontal black line on my nose from the past seven years. During the time of menses, it looks lighter, but on the other days, it looks darker. I applied everything from lemon juice, potato juice, cucumber, and kojic cream. But nothing works. What should I do?

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

Your concern may be post inflammatory hyper pigmentation or melasma. I suggest you try Lumacip plus (a combination of Fluocinolone topical, Hydroquinone topical and Tretinoin topical) cream. It is a triple combination cream. You can apply the cream on the pigmentation, wait for a couple of hours and rinse off with cool water. Try it for a couple of months. Start using La shield sunscreen. Try to have a diet rich in vitamin C. Avoid using sandal products on the face. This will help you hopefully.

Thank you for consulting me.

You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
