hello doctor. i have an Indian skin tone.i am 26 year old and lately i have noticed that my skin tone is getting very dark especially my feet and hands. i mostly remain indoor and only sometimes get sun exposure. my skin has gone to become dull from glowing. please suggest remedies as well as the cause of this skin problem.is it a result of some ailment as i have skin problem also.
As per your query you have darkening of skin which seems to be due to photodermatitis and could be natural tendency of skin. I would suggest you to apply Kojivit cream twice daily and wash face twice daily along with cold compresses to skin. For now avoid sun exposure , use PABA-free sunscreens that protect against UVA with sun protection factor of 30 and do not use any other skin product. You should consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may recommend phototherapy to desensitize the skin , may prescribe chemical peeling.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
