Management for acne and hyperpigmentation
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for posting the concern in HCM.
You have mentioned that you have acne problem alongwith hyperpigmented scars in the affected area, and want to know the remedy for the same and also want advices for fairness of eyelids.
I will answer your questions one by one.
Firstly, at your age acne can pose with a problem. That can be treated with ointments or oral medications. But, prior to that any hormonal imbalance or any underlying disease should be probed.
Therefore, regarding acne by advices are-
1. Healthy diet. Avoid high fat diet, junk food, carbonated beverages. Try to be on home made high fibre diet.
2. Plenty of oral fluid, preferably not less than 3 lit a day
3. Persol AC 2.5 gel to be applied over acne at the amount of a pinch at bedtime and wash face coming morning before exposure to sunlight
4. You should wash your face with salilac facewash or any salicylate containing facewash twice daily and after coming home from outside.
5. Avoid rubbing your face, picking the acne,and applying any cosmetic product unless advised by a doctor.
6. You may need to have the following tests done -
Complete blood count, urea, creatinine, LFT
7. In case you have any menstrual problem, you need to have USG lower abdomen
Now, regarding fairness of eyelids, I would say there is nothing that can increase fairness and please don't fall prey to false advertisement. If you have dark circles around the eyes, you should do the following -
1. Avoid any form of stress or anxiety
2. Maintain sleep hygiene
3. Follow dietary advices mentioned above
4. Do regular exercise for at least 45 minutes a day.
Now, regarding acne scars, you can apply Melaglow cream over hyperpigmented scars at bedtime.
Please write back to me with all investigations reports.
You can also consult your local dermatologist for further evaluation.
