How To Get Rid Of The Pigmentation On The Face And Neck?

Hi Doctor, I am a 42 year old mother of two. I have, for the last 3 months, developed pigmentation on my face and neck, more pronounced on my neck, and have gone through treatment using a combination of 3 creams prescribed by the doctor. He says now that the superficial pigment is gone, however, the deeper pigments are still showing. now he has put me on the following medicines, one to intake called antioxidant, and the other, a drop to put on the face/neck once everyday, called iklen (says it corrects and shades off brown spots) and asked me to come back in 2 months. Can you advise? thank you.

Hi Dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic Team.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pigmentation on the face and neck which is not because of any hormonal imbalance or hyperpigmentation as it is not there on whole body rather it is only on the areas which are exposed to UV rays of sunlight. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to use medicated cream known as TAN CARE as this will give you better protection against sunlight. Use metarub as well for deeper cleaning. Try to cover these area whenever you exposed to sunlight. At home you should use mashed potatoes and apply on these areas for 15 min. Antioxidants such as papaya is also very effective for the same. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get it examined.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr.Harry Maheshwari
