Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM
I can understand your concern regarding the pigmentation on face.
Though its difficult to layout perfect management in absence of actual examination or clinical photographs, still I will try my best to suggest you the right protocol.
Generally the treatment of pigmentation is divided into two parts: Clinic based procedures and home based treatment.
Usually, if both are carried out simultaneously wonderful results can be achieved in lesser time.
For clinic based treatment, you can get a series of
chemical peels, which actually remove the upper dead layers of skin and stimulate regeneration of
collagen and thus newer layers of skin. Many options are available in chemical peels depending on the requirement and skin type. (Glycolic peel,
retinol peel, cocktail peel etc)
Also, chemical peeling can be preceded by a simple procedure called microderamabrasion or commonly known as skin polishing to augment the results.
At home, you can use cream containing
kojic acid, tetrahydrocurcumin, arbutin etc (Melaglow cream) and topical
Vitamin C serum for several months for additional benefit and maintenance.
Always use broad spectrum sunscreen before going out in sun.
Use a plain moisturiser like
cetaphil DAM on daily basis for healthy and hydrated skin.
Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily diet.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
