Suggest Remedy For Dark Skin

My skin is becoming darker and darker as I am growing. First i used to be a fair in colour. But now my face, neck, arms are so dark that it is difficult for me to go out. I have uneven skin texture on that area. I am 18 years old. I have tried so many home remedies, even consulted many doctors. Please help me out. My life is becoming like a hell. I cannot face people now. Please give me some advise what should i do.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your skin has increased sensitivity of getting pigmented specially when there is exposure of sunlight. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to Use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 30. Use lightening agent like kojic acid with vitamin C twice a day. You can go for home remedy as well. apply mashed potatoes on these pigments. Apply MELALITE XL cream which is combination of hydroquinone + Tretinoin + steroid and apply it at night time. It will lighten pigmentation on skin. But make sure this cream is not to be used for more than 2-3 months Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil to lighten the pigments. You can visit dermatologist once and can go for chemical peeling or micro abrasion if your symptoms not resolving. Take supplements rich in vitamin C.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
