I am 49 and undergoing premenopause. Gynaecologist gave Trinordiol. Skin on cheeks were getting darker and now hair growth quite impressive. Dermatologist prescribed Pigmentclar serum. My face is getting dark even though I am not black. I live on an island with a tropical climate. Is it the proper treatment?

- Your symptoms of dark pigmentation & hair growth on skin is due to hormonal imbalance caused by process of menopause
The descending levels of female hormones ( estrogen/ progestron) & comparative rise in testosterone lead to various symptoms of menopause.
- The medicines given to you Trinordiol - is to try & bring hormone levels near to normality & restrain the bother sum symptoms.& Pigmentclar syrup is to remove pigmentation. Both are aimed to alleviate your problem But-
- You need to understand, that physiological process of menopause is bound to occur & the undesirable effects need to be managed by-
- Hormone replacement therapy,
- Cosmetic procedures like threading/ waxing/ laser treatment for permanent removal of hairs.
- local application of Potato starch/ cucumber juice/ lemon juice with honey or turmeric would help in decreasing the pigmentation.. further managed by make up tricks.
- Avoid exposure to sun/ use sunscreen lotion
- Again in advancing age.. to try & maintain beauty & be successful in hiding the changes brought about by age is definitely a skill. But at the same time a glow of health & fitness on face along with few silver lines in hairs along expression of maturity & understanding & tendency to help & love needy people .. contribute to the elegance of a grown up personality.So now is a time when how you are, matters much more than how you look !
