Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I m Dianne, and I live in Jamaica were its really hot.. I m 47, and I got age spots just out of nowhere, a friend told me about Demelan skin lightening cream, and I asked my doc for a prescription ... He didn t seem to know of it before... Is it safe?
Hello I have gone through your question and understand your concern. Demelan cream can be used on skin for dark spots/age spots to lighten them. Always use a sunscreen when using a skin lightening cream, use of sunscreen also prevents age spots and wrinkles caused due to harmful sun rays. It is better to use Demelan in evening, as skin tends to get sun sensitive due to the active ingredients in the cream. Along with local application of cream add vitamin C and antioxidants to your diet to prevent age spots. Hope your concern is answered. Thank you.
