Suggest Treatment For Hyper Pigmentation Of Skin During Summer
Hello. My name is Ella. I am contacting you today to address a problem I'm having. I am of XXXXX decent more in speciality I'm from Sudan. In the summer I become this really dark shade. In the winter I'm still dark but have a little bit of lightness to me. In addition my whole body is always different skin tones. This issue has caused insecurities within myself and has affected my performance for many years. My whole family are a fair skin color so my skin color really bugs me. I have used multiple skin lighten creams and body soap but none have worked. I'm am looking for a doctor in the DMV (Washington D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland) area to help me with this issue. I will be paying out of pocket because I have medicare and don't believe they will cover the expense.
Hello and welcome to HCM, Darkening of skin during summers or any other season of year can be avoided by using sun-screen while going out in sun. Sun-screens block the harmful UV rays of the sun and prevent dark coloration. The skin color can be lightened by melanin reduction therapy. Melanin reduction is a specialized technique wherein the melanin pigment is reduced by special treatment. You need to consult a dermatologist or a cosmetologist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal
