Have Dark Skin Around Mouth, Want To Improve Skin Tone. Suggest?

HI, I am 27 Years old girl and I want to improve the color of my skin and also I observed that I have dark skin around my mouth and eyes. It has been there for few years now, but I thought it might disappear automatically after a healthy diet.

I want to remove these dark patches around the mouth completely.

Can you please guide me How to improve the color of the skin and also remove the darkness from the face?

Thanks,
Seema

hello seema,
welcome to Hcm,
dark patches around your mouth and eyes is due to hyper pigmentation of skin,
along with healthy diet including green vegetables and plenty of water you can apply hydroquinone cream.
some dermatologist also give mild steroids like melacare cream to decrease pigmentation.
you can consult skin specialist and start treatment advised by him.
remember steroids are not to increase fairness or can not be used regularly.it is only to decrease pigment and regain normal colour of your skin.
i hope i answered your query.
take care
