Can I Use Depiwhite Cream To Remove Black Pigmentation?
Question: Iam currently using Depiwhite cream to remove Black pigmentation for past 10 days as suggested by the doctor, but i have noticed my cheeks are getting red and i also have very slight urge to rub my cheeks because of itchiness, should i continue using this cream or stop it ?
Brief Answer:
Continue using
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Depiwhite causes dryness and slight peeling of skin.
This is normal and it is actually the mechanism by which Depiwhite works.
You can continue using the cream with short contact period.
Apply it in evening, keep for 4 hours, wash off and apply a moisturizer before going to bed at night.
In morning use a sunscreen.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Thankyou doctor for the reply, i had a couple of more questions.
Firstly iam applying it all over my face as earlier i had pimples on my cheek but now only spots were left that too very light and if i use to touch my skin it was soft, after applying the cream i feel the spots have come up and when i touch my cheeks i can actually feel them, like small small dots, is that normal?
Secondly, iam using a neutrogena spf 50, that is okay to use right ?
Lastly even if the weather is cloudy and i go out my cheeks start becoming very red but if i stay home they do get red but not as much as they do when i go out ?

Brief Answer:
Continue with depiwhite and sunscreen
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
Apply it only on affected area.
The cream causes exfoliating of skin, that is why you feel it rough on touching.
Neutrogena spf 50 is good sunscreen.
You can continue with that.
Your skin is getting red as it has become thin due to use of depiwhite.
Continue with the sunscreen.
Once you stop using depiwhite, redness will subside.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
