Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My marriage got fixed, and the place I stay has lots of pollution and dust. I have to go to the office in the morning. My skin becomes very dark and dull and I have small open pores in between my brows and on my cheeks near my nose. My normal complexion is wheatish. I need to get rid of this dullness and darkening of my skin before my wedding. Currently, I am using multi-action face wash and rosewater as a toner and multi-action white cream with SPF 19, and sunscreen with SPF 50. Kindly guide me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
Skin tanning is a side effect of excessive sunlight exposure. Indian skin is very prone to get tan. I explain treatment and precautions point-wise manner
1. Avoid direct sunlight exposure as much as you can. Wear sunglass, caps and cover the exposed part of the body all the time
2. Use sunscreen thrice a day like 10 o'clock, 12, and 3 o'clock all over the face
3. Sunscreen SPF should be around 50.
4. Use anti-pigmentation cream over pigmented parts like kojic acid, hydroquinone, and Depi-white cream.
5. If tanning is deep and too much then the ideal treatment is glycolic acid peels. Sittings of six to eight peels must be required.
6. Never stop sunscreen even if tanning goes off.
I hope I have cleared all your doubts.
Thank you.
