Question 1

I'm really struggling with dark knees, elbows, and underarms, and it's been bothering me for a while. Do you have any suggestions or treatments that could help with this? I'd really appreciate your advice.

Accepted Answer

Darkening of the skin in these areas can be due to various reasons such as friction, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions. To help lighten these areas, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. One example is "Melalite Forte cream" which can be applied once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on these areas can help prevent further darkening. Remember to consult with a dermatologist before starting any new skincare regimen.

Question 3

I'm noticing that the skin on either side of my nose is turning black, and it seems to be getting worse with each passing day. I'm really worried about this. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can make it stop or reduce it?

Accepted Answer

The blackening of the skin on both sides of your nose may be due to a condition called seborrheic dermatitis. I recommend using a topical antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected areas. In addition, you can use a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream once daily to reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid picking or scratching at the skin. If the condition does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
