Hello Doctor, I am suffering from Facial pigmenation problem (due to hormone imbalance) for the last 2 years. As per the Dermotologist, used Melacare for a month at night times with Suncross sunscreen during the day time for every 3 hours, pigmentation vanisheed completely, but when I stopped Melacare, pigmentation patches became worst than before. Dermotologist advised to go for 6 Glycolic peels + 2 TCA peels to be continued with Banatan cream in the night and Sunscreen during the day. Till now, underwent 3 Glycolic peels for about 35% concentration, after every peel have PIH problem, its looking very dark, worst than then pigmentation. I was asked to use Clearway cream by the Doctor, on the new patches for 2 weeks and then again to continue with peels. I am really confused now and lost hope to continue this treatment. I feel very low to go out and face people or meet office friends as everybody questions about marks on my face. I am requesting your best advise and medicine to treat this pigmentation, with permanent cure is really appreciated.
Hello, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. You are having plasma. It is somewhat resistant to treatment. It is a common cosmetic problem in females, and it will subside as age advances. Treatment which you are receiving is correct and continue with that. Only thing I want to add is get your thyroid checked.Also, if you are taking any birth control pills stop that. I hope this will solve your problem, to some extent.
