Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My face skin has darken badly. Sometimes Itchiness occurs. I feel very depressed and do not speak to people facing them straight due to my ugly look. I have consulted dermatologist and changed two medicines but no use. Ointments used were Biocon (pimecrolimus cream) and Betnovate-c. please let me know what treatment should I take.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you want to lighten skin complexion which is because of excessive exposure to sunlight due to which your skin got hyper pigmented. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
Wash your face 3-4 times a day with clindamycin gel and use suncros aquagel as sunscreen.
Use Tancare with spf 30 to protect against sun exposed areas.
Apply Kojic Acid containing cream like Kojivit or Kojicare on hands, face.
Use Vitamin E over the face and oils rich in vitamin E on hands.
Avoid application of hard chemicals on face.
Visit dermatologist once and get it examined if symptoms keeps on recurring and get complete examination done and start treatment accordingly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
