Suggest Treatment For Hyper Pigmentation On Face
Hello Doctor,
I am of East Indian descent and naturally, my skin colour is darker. However, I am a bit 'light skinned' and am concerned that my face is about 3 times darker than the rest of my body. I do drink occasionally and understand that it could be the cause. I drink a lot of water and eat mostly a healthy diet.
It's not sun burn - as its winter here and hardly any sunshine :(.
What might be the cause and what can be recommended if anything?
Thanks,
N.
