Suggest Treatment To Get Fairer Skin

I have a brown skin genetically, but even more brown now due to the location where i live, which is a hot steamy country.
I would like to know if there is any dryg that can reduce the melanin in my body to the extend that it looks fair and white?
I would be thankful if you help me with the name of the drug.

Hello Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.


Thanks for your query . Well his is very common problem specially in fry and hot places . The dark complexion of skin is due to over production melanin in melanocytes ,Which are usually trigger by exposure to sun.

I would suggest you to use broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 ,exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week,use cream containing kojic acid ,azelaic acid ,both are know to give very good results in such cases (apply them as per instructions ) , arbutin is a natural derevative of hydroquinone which is also effective.

Along with above treatment you should also use some home remedies for dark skin like apply apple cider vinegar mixed with equal amount of water and wash away after 10 mins ,vitamin E oils should be applied at night , turmeric paste and aloe vera gel .

I condition still persists then you should consult dermatologist . Doctor may suggest you procedure like dermabrasion .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
