Hello

Welcome to healthcare magic forum.

I have analysed your image. I understand your concern regarding skin complexion and colour.

Face and foot are exposed area of body and most prone to damage by sun light, pollution or other environmental factor.

I suggest following points to solve your query.

1) Sun protection is very essential for your skin. You should apply sunscreen with 50 SPF (SHADOWS 50) regularly. Apply 20 minutes before sun exposure and re apply it every 3 hours. You should apply it even in cloudy atmosphere.

2) Skin cream like MELAGLOW or NILTAN will help you in getting your skin colour back gradually. Apply it at night over skin at night. You should apply it for minimum 3 months to see good result. Both are safe and effective creams.

3) Procedure like skin peeling, microdermabrasion will reduce dark spot and open pores effectively. You should consult dermatologist for this.

4) Take more green leaf vegetable, fruits and pulses in diet. Vitamin C is very good for your skin.

5) Drink plenty of water a day to keep your skin hydrated and fresh.

6) Use mild cleanser (cetaphil cleansing lotion) for face wash.

7) Avoid stress as much as you can .it adversely affects your skin. Do regular exercise and yoga for relaxation.

I hope I answered your query
Let me know if you have any further question.

Dear Doctor,

Thanks. And this is my final question that people are saying that Melaglow cream will work for 6 months to 1 year definitely, and then it will make our skin 50 to 100 times darker than before, and started looking aged also. Is it so...?? Is there any side effects using melaglow cream. My skin is oily, bit pimpled dark skin.

And how long i have to use this cream. And how many times i need to use per day. Which time is best for the use. And Can i use it with other creams or can i apply face powder after applying this cream.

Please advice.

Thanks,
XXXXXX.

Hi

Melaglow is very safe cream and does not have any side effects what you have mentioned. It does not contain any steroid molecule. There is another cream, MELACARE, contain steroid and retinoid. What you have heard is right about melacare not for melaglow. There are many creams available with similar name. Make sure that melaglow is product of abbott pharma.

You can use it twice a day for 6 month. You can also use it for long time without any side effects. You should avoid other creams. You can use powder after it.

Hope this help you.

Regards
