Suggest Treatment For Dark Spots On The Face

I developed dark spots on my face (only on face, earlier I has pretty good skin) after acute liver dysfunction. Can I use hydroxyquinone (Melatite 15) for a brief period (say, a month ) and then taper it off gradually after getting rid of hyper pigmentation? thank you

Hello,

You can use hydoquinone cream, it is a bleaching agent. Start using good sunscreen of SPF 50 during noon time and avoid direct sunlight between 10 to 3 am.

If hydroquionone is not working even after 30 days of usage, then please stop using it further and report to a dermatologist nearby you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sandeep Golla
