To treat pimples and dark marks on your face, you can use a combination of topical treatments. You can use a benzoyl peroxide gel (such as Oxy-5) for the pimples. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas once or twice daily. For the dark marks, you can use a topical retinoid cream (such as Retin-A) to help fade the discoloration. Apply a pea-sized amount on the dark marks at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can help prevent further darkening of the marks.

Long-term use of skin-lightening creams like Skin Lite can cause skin damage and rebound darkening. Stop using the cream completely and avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen (SPF 30+). Keep your skin moisturized with gentle, fragrance-free creams. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment, such as medications or therapies to repair and even out your skin.

Accepted Answer

Isotroin 20mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat severe acne. It is considered helpful in improving acne by reducing oil production and preventing clogged pores. It should be safe for you unless you are known to be allergic to it or experience concerning side effects.

Question 6

I have uneven skin tone with dark patches near my nose, and Im confused about whether its tanning or pigmentation. Can you explain the difference between the two?

Accepted Answer

Tanning is the skin's natural response to exposure to UV radiation, leading to the darkening of the skin. It is usually temporary and fades away as the skin regenerates. On the other hand, pigmentation refers to the color of the skin, which can be affected by various factors such as genetics, hormones, and sun exposure. Dark patches near the nose could be a result of both tanning and pigmentation issues. To address this, you can use a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin.
