Can Dark Pigmentation On The Face And Neck Be Managed With Medication?

default
Posted on Tue, 21 Dec 2021
Question: Hi Doctor, I go for a morning walk/run almost daily. My face, neck are darker and pigmented compared to rest of my body. I use Lotus sun screen spf 30 before I go for walk and I sweat quite a bit for about 1-2 hours post the run and I don't feel freshness on my face. Please suggest what best to be done (any cream etc.,) for de-pigmentation

Brief Answer:
Depigmenting cream, anti-oxidant caps, sunscreen

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I would recommend you to apply a depigmenting cream containing kojic acid on the pigmented areas like kojivit cream or kojiglo cream on the dark areas twice daily followed by application of a broad spectrum sunscreen on the entire face 2-3 times during the day time.
This depigmenting cream needs to be applied faster at least 6-8 weeks to see significant results.
Also take antioxidant like capsule antoxid HC once daily for 6-8 weeks.
