Dark Patches Under Nose, Around Mouth After Using EVEGLOW. Reason?
Hello Doc,
I used a cream called EVE GLOW 15g , It was said that it will help to skin smoothness and complexion and it does exactly as mentioned, I have used it for more than 2 weeks. I was getting good results. But suddenly I noticed kind of black patches (dark skin ) below my nose and around my mouth. when I had moustache I didn't notice it much, but when I shaved it is very much notable and looks weird. I am 26 yr old male.
Kindly suggest me a good remedy to get rid of this ASAP, also let me know whether I could continue using this cream. It has has not affected any other part of my face expect below my nose (moustache are) and around my mouth.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks,
Satish

Hi, Satish
Thanks for your query.
Eve glow is composed of hydroquinone, tretinoin and momatosone.You seem to have developed post inflamatory hyperpigmentation due to tretinoin.
You may discontinue using the cream and for reduction of dark patches you may do as follows:
-Use a broad spectrum sunscreen during the day.
-apply a kojic acid based cream at night.
-Take diet rich in vitamin C
-you may undergo spot peels by a dermatologist.
Hope this helps you
