Detailed Answer:
Hi

Welcome to the portal!

I am Dr V XXXXXXX

I have noted your concerns and hope the following measures will help you get improved skin tone in the near future.

1 Please avoid sun exposure as much as is possible.

2 Develop a habit of daily use of sunscreen preferably twice a day, 100Am and 100PM on all exposed areas and to be used at least 30 minutes before you move out of the indoors. Use it even on a rainy or cloudy day and a product with an SPF of 30 or more

3 Take oral antioxidants. The natural choice is plenty of vegetables and fruits and if needed, to be supplemented with Antoxid-HC tablets.

4 Hydrate your skin frequently

5 Avoid cosmetics and harsh chemicals

6 Kojic acid preparations like Kolic ointment/ Ban A XXXXXXX cream can be used effectively and work well even if applied at night and left in place. These are unlikely to cause comedones.

I am sure that these measures would set you on the path to improvement even though the results might take several weeks to come up. most of my patients reported significant improvement by following this regime.

Our best wishes for your early improvement!

Hi

Welcome back with your query!

You are right that creams such as mentioned by you can also be used. What I have advised you is based upon my experience of several decades and in large number of patients. I am confident about the quality and results of products that I suggest. That precisely was the reason that I wanted you to get the best response.

These creams are available with the chemists and are reasonably priced. After using them for some months, you will feel the difference.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear

Welcome back!
You are likely to get good results with either Kojic or Melalite.

Both are good and still better would be to combine it with Melawash face wash in the daytime or early morning.

Best wishes!
