Suggest Medication For Dark Brown Spots On The Face

hi Doctor,

My name is Nidhi. I have dark and light brown dots on my face. I believe it is due to the sunlight exposure. These brown spots are on my face since my early teenage and now I am 26 yrs old. please tell me how to make them disappear from my face. I am fair, so have these seen very clearly too.



Thank you in advance for helping me soon.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

You most probably have freckles on your face. Freckles are flat, brown to tan macules which are common in those who are fair skinned.

They appear most prominent in sun exposed areas and Sun exposure tends to darken them.

For freckles you could use kojivit gel during day time and Azaleic acid gel (Aziderm) for night time use.

You can also opt for chemical peeling session from a dermatologist. Glycolic peel and Kojic acid peel can both effectively diminish freckles.

Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen gel, 1/2 hour before stepping out in the sun and regularly throughout the day

An Oral Vit C supplement would also help with pigmentation.

Regards
