Avatar f tn Therapy with topical skin lightening products and laser treatments may take weeks to several months before any significant difference is noted. During the treatment phase, you should avoid the sun by using sun-protective clothing and sunscreen to decrease the likelihood of pigmentary changes induced by UV light. -Hydroquinone (HQ) is a chemical readily available in cosmetic and nonprescription forms for skin lightening.
Avatar f tn When i spread the skin it do not appears but otherwise it looks really awkward. I have used some skin lightening creams but it did not help. How can i get it better. What are the treatments available? Is there any cosmetic or laser treatments are available? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/244017'>dark skin</a>.
Avatar n tn I have done many Candela laser treatments to remove these marks, but they are still there. I also tried using the Elure advanced lightening duo. What should I do? Please advise. Thank you.
Avatar m tn //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8204478); could a Q-switched ruby laser target the darkened raphe line (and leave it looking as though no/little surgery has taken place there)? In anticipation of the expected objections: I know that every man has this line and it's natural. I know from my own experience that women don't really care about it. This is about changing something for myself, "If you're not happy with something, change it".

Avatar f tn Hey, I'm an 18 year old middle eastern girl and ever since I started noticing my breasts I noticed that I have these brown spots on my right breast. It covers nearly half of my breast. My right breast is also much smaller in comparison to the left one. The left one is pretty normal. These spots on my breasts are nothing like freckles or something. I'm not sure what they are. I got it checked once by a dermatologist.

Avatar n tn Hello, I've noticed that I have a shadow-like, blackish pigment on my upper lip. I'm really confused about why I have this pigmentation because the only skin problem I have is eczema. I was once using a topical steroid to treat my eczema and I'm wondering if that caused any hormonal changes which resulted in the pigmentation. I want to see a dermatologist, but I have no idea where to find one.
Avatar n tn If I lose weight, will this unsightly brown leathery skin go away? Will creams work or are they a scam? Will laser ablation work? If all else fails can i have that part of my skin removed? I just want it gone in the worst way.
Avatar f tn t seem to be going away or even lightening up at all. I was just concerned about if this could be a skin cancer type of issue...and also it isn't very pretty. Do I need to see a Doctor?
Avatar f tn I am looking into purchasing a product called Mederma and i wanted to see what you think about this product. Does it even skin tone with out lightening the entire face, will is cause more bad than good, or is it not the best product to use for blemishes? I am an African American female of dark complexion, 20 years old. Also, is there a face cleaner you reccommend for someone to use if they are allergic to the water in their area to prevent other bumps from forming peridodicaly? Thanks.
Avatar m tn It has both cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects on melanocytes (pigment producing cells) and may produce earlier, more pronounced skin lightening. Adverse effects include pruritus, mild erythema, scaling, and burning. so use it as per the dermatologist’s instructions. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn I will say though that your rubbing could damage the skin to some extent and this is one of the listed causes of hyper pigmentation. There are home remedies that have been used with varying degrees of success on dark areas of the skin such as dabbing with lemon juice on a cotton swab, using a lightening cream, making a mask of honey and brown sugar, trying tea tree extract on it. A dermatologist will have other things to try including laser therapy which is known to solve the issue for many.
Avatar f tn I have tried products like bio oil and a skin lightening cream, but these have not been effective. I get breakouts on my skin very often and i have acne and rosacea. My skin used to be completely clear before i used the hair removal cream. Is there anything i can do to get rid of the marks?
Avatar f tn Application of vitamin C compress increases skin cell turnover, which helps slough away discolored skin, while supporting new skin cells in developing. Olive oil massages may help to some extent. These brown scars will take time to go. Consult your dermatologist and clarify your doubts. Best wishes and regards!
Avatar f tn I have noticed for a long time my startle reflex is very sensitive and little sounds or touches make my body jerk. I also have like lightening flashes behind eyelids when I fall asleep if there's a small sound. I am now noticing those flashes even when I am just sitting relaxed and for instance my cellphone dings with an alert. Is this ms related or just my insanity?
Avatar n tn I have severe bruising & bumping on my chin from hairs. They never come thru the skin & when they do they are very fine & basically invisible. They almost always cause my chin to be sore & bumpy. The bumps fill up with pus or whatever the stuff is. Whether I release the pus or it eventually dries up on its own, if the hair isn't released the bump is still sore. Sometimes I can't even see the hair but I just know it's in there because it hurts so bad.
701899 tn?1228452449 The treatments vary from melanin blocking agents combined with topical medications such as Retin A which causes the body to exfoliate the skin to rid the body of the hyperpigmentation while prohibiting new melanin production to laser treatments. The treatments wholly depend upon your needs and skin type. For standard non-hormone induced hyperpigmentations Hydroquinone usually reduces or removes hyperpigmentations very effectively. It is a bleaching agent.
Avatar n tn One doctor told me this is eczema and another told me it's Becker Nevus. What do you think? If it's Becker Nevus, does the Q-beam laser work for lightening the lesion. I have this for more the 18yrs since I was 10yrs old. HELPPP!!!
