Suggest Treatment For Skin Darkening On The Back

Hi I am 30 yes old female. My back neck skin turned black colour during my pregnancy. Now its been 2 years after my delivery. I tried many options to lighten up my skin. But it still remains same. Is there any cream or bleach to lighten up my back neck skin. Please answer.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

You seem to have hypermelanotic patches on back of neck. You are right,pregnancy might precipitate such condition. The hypermelanosis might occur anywhere on body. You consult dermatologist to have firm diagnosis.
Blood tests may be done to rule out anaemia,thyroid dysfunction,DM,HIV and other internal diseases.

I recommend tab glutathion 100 mg daily along with vitamin C and nicotinic acid. And I advise to apply gel containing kojic acid. Cleanse the neck area with glycolic acid containing facewash. Take nutritious food. I hope you might get good result after few months treatment.

Thanks.
