I am an Indian 40 yr ol female. Have a shadow on the sides of my face which has been identified as hyperpigmentation . i have not been prescribed any creams to apply but have been given cleansers, sun blocks, vitamin C pills etc. I have been following prescription for 10 day sbut have not noticed any change. 1) Is hyperpigmentation reversible on asian skin? 2) am i on the right course of treatment?
Hi, Thanks for writing in.  Sun exposure can aggravate pigmentation. Keeping the sun protection is important to treat hyperpigmentation. Use sunscreen with SPF 50. Effective oral and topical medications are now available for Hyperpigmentation.  My advice to you would be to use topical trig low cream with good moisturizer.  Few treatments like microdermabrasion and chemical peel can help to dark spots effectively.  You are on right track. Please continue the treatment. It takes one to three months to show effects. Hope this helps. Regards Chat Doctor.
