Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I am 31 yrs old, i have used so many creams on my face like sulfars, epiderm etc for a very long time and as i stopped them i am having rashes and it made my face very dark, i am now applying acnegon gel and taking vitamin e supplement but have not seen changes yet?
The cause of rash and dark pigmentation should be identified. Melasma, sun burn, discoloration due to hormonal changes should be ruled out. Endocrinal abnormalities causing hormonal imbalance such as diabetes, insulin resistance and Hypothyroidism should be ruled out. Regular sunscreen use half an hour before stepping out is essential. Mild steroid or hydroquinone cream can be used to reduce symptoms but should not be used for a long period due to side effects.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
