Suggest Treatment For Skin Discoloration On Forehead And Lips

Hi Dr. I have dark skin just around my lips and forehead compared to the other part of my face. Doctor recommended me to use Mestro cream but within half hours of application i got a red hot face with rashes and burnin sensation. The doctor thus changed my cream to carofit max. I put this cream over my face for a night and nexx morning when i washed my face with nivea facewash i immediately got rashes over my cheeks. Could you please help me with this ?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your query it seems to be hyperpigmentation causing blackish discolouration around the lips and forehead..

As the creams that you have used causes red rashes it is due to allergic reaction to the most probable steroid component present in the creams or even the other products.
First of all let the reaction to subside, take Levocetrizine for it and do cold compresses..
Once the reaction subsides you can start using Kojic acid and glycolic acid containing creams over the face as it is safe for long term use and also cause lightening of the dark areas..
Apply Vitamin E oil at night..
Exfoliate your skin twice a week..
Take vitamin C supplements..
For lubrication apply aloevera gel and avoid all kind of chemical cosmetics..

If you still do not find improvement you can go for galvanic facial, microdermabrasion or chemical peels..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
