Suggest Treatment For Dark And Uneven Skin Tone

My Name is San and i am 32 years old . I have a very dark and uneven skin tone and I am losing confidence at times . I used Melacare Forte for many long years and i stopped it a couple of months Back since i came to know the adverse effect of Melacare on the skin . I am planning to try Vitamin C with Kojic acid . My search for the same took me to amazon and i saw a package with 3 stuffs , basically arbuting , vitamin C and hyaluronic Acid . I would like to know if these products are good for skin and i can use this as an alternative for Melacare Forte .

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query. Melacare you used has very heavy ingredients including steroids . It should not be use for more the two months that too under the expert advice .

The symptoms you mention in query in due steroid content , which cause redness with rashes and peeling of skin . It basically start damaging the skin after sometimes . This can also be called as steroid abuse condition.

The kojic acid cream to mention in query is very safe for long term use and natural extract of mushrooms which is very effective in treating condition like yous . This cream should be applied twice a day .

Vitamin C serum is also very effective for skin and it can be use at night . It nourishes the skin and prevent infection.

I would suggest you to : -

- Wash your face with mild soap twice a day .

- Exfoliate your facial skin once a well to remove dead skin.

- Apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 which going outside .

If condition persist or doesn't start getting better i a month then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment .

Doctor may recommend procedure like laser therapy, chemical pelling or microdermabrassion.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
