Hai, welcome to HCM,
I have read your description and understand your concern.
I would help you as best as possible. But, I need the following information:
1 Few pics taken in daylight preferably
2 Your age and the duration of problem
3 Occupation like outdoor activities including sports and recreation
4 family history
5 History of use of face preparations
6 Any medication taken on long term basis
7 Associated symptoms
.
However, to prevent that the complaint does not continue, there are some practical way you can do:
1 Avoid sun exposure.
An alternative is to use a any sunscreen of SPF at least 35, daily at 10:00 hrs and repeated at 13:00 hrs everyday, including rainy/cloudy days. Use is meant for all exposed areas.
2. Avoid face packs or other preparations with a risk of causing irritation on the face.
3. Frequent face washing with plain water.
Once I have analyzed the whole case, I will get back to you on priority
I hope these measures will prove very useful in the long run as well
Best wishes
