Loss Of Pigment In Face, Around Eyes, Forehead. Treatment?

Hi...I ve become a little concerned with how some parts of my face seem to be losing pigment, or other parts have become darker possibly. It is primarily around my eyes and my forehead . I have no moles , or anything else, and have been spending an inordinate amount of time indoors lately as a result of school, so I m no longer outside in the sun like I used to be for most of my life up until about two years ago.

Hi ,
Thanks for writing in.
The problem can be vitiligo ,IGH,polymorhic light eruption etc.

Without actual visualisation of the skin it is not possible to comment on nature of pigmentation.

Sun protection is most important for any cosmetic treatment.
Use good quality sunscreen.
Avoid sun exposure.
Use brevoxyl face wash.
Apply Kojivit cream at night over dark spots.
Take lot of vitamin C in diet.
Visit a dermatologist for proper examination and diagnosis who can also provide you some clinic based procedure like surgery and laser.

Visit a dermatologist for some clinic based procedure like chemical peeling and laser.


Hope this helps.
