Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My face is darker than my body. I am currently using bio morning Nectar 30 + SPF sunscreen ultra soothing face lotion but it does not help me. I am suffering from this problem from last six years.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Actually, your complexion is a dark one. While you go out, you better use a face cover and a hat. Consult a homeopathic doctor for treatment. It is a facial pigmentation or darkening, medically known as melasma due to excessive secretion of melanin. Homeopathic medicines for treating facial pigmentation are Sepia Officinalis, Thuja Occidentalis, Berberis Aquifolium, Cadmium Sulphuratum and Sulphur.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
