Suggest Treatment For Discoloration Around The Mouth

default
Posted on Tue, 27 Sep 2016
Question: I have discoloration around my mouth. It has been there for very long time. Can I get rid of it?
Also my skin has kind of lost its glow. It is dry and lifeless. I want some regular thing that I can do improve on it from inside out like some particular nutrition. I am open to suggestions.

Hi,

I am attaching the pictures. I have used a homeopathic medicine earlier but I kind of got caught up in work so didn't had the time to visit the doctor again. I used it for like a month which is obviously not a good duration of time to observe the effects.
I used SBL berberis aquifolium gel suggested by the doctor. Please suggest.

Brief Answer:
Kojic acid cream, sunscreen and moisturising cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have reviewed the attached photographs.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to use a kojic acid cream on the dark areas of the face twice daily and take antioxidant capsule like capsule antoxid HC or Capsule Exerge once daily at bedtime.
Besides this use a broad spectrum sunscreen on the entire face during the day time and a good moisturising cream at night.
These measures will improve your skin tone and dullness.
Also avoid direct sunlight, take proper sleep of 7-8 hours, increase the intake of water, take plenty of fruits and vegetables, avoid stress and include nuts in your diet.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
