What Causes Skin To Get Darker And Darker?

hello, I have noticed changes in my skin. I had fair skin, however, within the last year I notice my skin getting darker and darker. I have not been in the sun, or gone tanning. I have been researching to make sure there is nothing serious, but I am getting worried.

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of skin darkening which seems to be due to excessive production of melanocytes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you start with the application of a cream containing kojic acid. Apply clindamycin gel at night time on the face. You should take a diet rich in fluids and multivitamins. I would suggest you visit a dermatologist once and get it examined. You should apply sunscreen Tancare rich in spf 26. Avoid exposure to sunlight. Drink plenty of water.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
