Suggest Remedy For Discolouration Of Skin

Hi, I am light skinned naturally, I live in Nigeria but school in Ghana. Whenever I go home I get my colour back if I stay long enough, but when I come back to school I darken again. Some parts of my body are darker and some are fairer so I look like I am bleaching. Please I will really appreciate any suggestions you can give me on a cream to use or on how to take care of my skin better.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have skin discoloration and some part ofvyour body are fair and some are dark which is because of increased senstivitiy of your skin getting pigmented which is leading to postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to wash your face with salicyclic acid based exfoliant. Wash properly with cold water and apply cream containing azealic acid. You should apply clindamycin gel as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You can go for microabrasion, dermabrasion and chemical peeling. Take diet rich in multivitamins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
