Suggest Treatment For Pigmentation Around Mouth Area

Two years ago I struggled with some dermatitis around my mouth area specifically laugh lines. I scratched them so bad that it left me with dermal pigmentation that is very bothersome to me. I have tried hydroquinone bleach which only made the pigmentation worse. I am a women of color and hoping there is a solution to this. What do you suggest? Thanks

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain the hyper pigmentation that you are suffering due to dermatitis needs a proper dermatologist care..

This kind of hyperpigmentation mostly takes a relatively long time to lighten up and hydroquinone cream is considered effective in lightening the pigmented spots but as you do not find it to helping you out you can try TOPICAL RETINOL for lightening the pigmented spots..

Other things available with dermatologists are CHEMICAL PEEL AND LASER TREATMENT for removal of pigmented spots..

Always apply a sunscreen lotion before going out.

Always use cosmetic products which are dermatologically tested.

Few homely remedies include:
Grind soaked lentil pulse and add milk in it. Apply over the dark spots to lighten them.

Banana and guava grind together and apply over the dark spot can lighten dark spots.
You can apply it atleast two to three times a week.

Hope your query is solved..

Thanks and regards:
