What Medication Should I Take For Dark Spots On Both Sides Of Cheek?
hi, I got problem with my face, where there were dark spots on both side of my cheek. I have seen many obese people(I am an obese too) got these dark spots and it looks like a permanent blush and getting darker every day. I have read an article before it is because due to insulin resistance. How can I prevent this problem? is there any medication that I should take?
You seem to be having a very common pigmentation problem named Melasma. First of all, you should use a sunscreen regularly before going not in the sun. Apply it atleast half an hour before sun exposure. You might need to apply a lightening agent over the affected areas. Something like kojic acid and vitamin c combination helps in most cases. Eat a diet rich in citrus fruits containing vitamin c. Take plenty of fresh fruits and salads. See a dermatologist if the pigmentation tends to persist for long. There are many procedures which can be done to improve the scars.
Hope it helps
