Hello doctor,
My natural skin tone is fair but my complexion became darker a few years back when I was under chronic sun exposure. What to do?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
I suggest you wash your face with a mild face wash twice daily for 15 days. I also suggest you take a tablet of Vitamin C 500 milligrams once daily after breakfast for 30 days.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
Hello doctor,
Thanks for your reply.
I am in my thirties and am on anti-depressants.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Certain medications can cause drug-induced hyperpigmentation like anti-depressants. So, I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.
1. Take a multivitamin capsule once daily after dinner for 30 days.
2. Wash your face with a mild face wash twice daily for 20 days.
3. Apply a good Glycolic Acid cream at night for six weeks.
4. Take a tablet of vitamin C 500 milligrams once daily after breakfast for 30 days.
5. Use a good photostable sunscreen daily without failure whether outdoors or indoors.
6. Apply a good moisturizing cream before sunscreen application.
7. Increase vitamin C and Vitamin A-rich foods in your diet. Eat lots of fruits and green vegetables.
8. Avoid direct sunlight exposure.
9. Use broad-brimmed hats.
Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
