What To Do For Make The Skin Fair?
I feel like I am getting darker day by day and its not because of sunlight since I am not getting exposed to the sun at all. I have tried all skin lightening products. Nothing worked. I am starting feel really depressed and have started to compare myself to fair skinned ladies. I don t know why suddenly I am losing all my self esteem. Is there any way to reduce to lighten my skin medically?

Hi.
As per your case history of dark skin, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
3. Apply a kojic acid cream like kojivit twice daily on full face.
4. Other treatment options are oral tranexamic acid, vitamin b3, topical hydroquinone and chemical peels done only by a dermatologist.
Thanks.
