Hi,

Melaglow is a mild skin lightening cream and better suited for maintenance treatment than primary treatment. You should see a dermatologist about getting 4-6 sessions of chemical peeling done. Peels suitable for giving a mild glow to the skin are Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid and Salicylic-Mandelic. Sessions are done two weekly. Also Vitamin C serum and skin lighteners like Hydroquinone, Kojic acid and Arbutin can further help. Make sure you use an SPF 50+, UVA+++ sunscreen everyday (at least 8 am and 2 pm).

Please note that the information I have provided is for general purposes only and does not establish a patient-doctor relationships. No prescription cream or tablet should be taken without consulting a doctor in person.

Doctor's Answer

Hi, As far as I know the two can be used together (melacare hc and brevoxyly cream face wash). It is just that you should not have any kind of allergy to brevoxyly cream face wash. First use only brevoxyly cream and if you have breathing difficulty,swelling of lips,face and throat,skin redness,burning,or dryness,then don't use it further but otherwise there should not be any worry. However it depends from person to person so it cannot be confirmed. Melacare cream should not be used for too lon ...

Hello Doctor this is Emmanuel Nice to hear from you, actually my skin is not extremely very dark but compared to a 'White skin' it is, I'm not very pinkish, but I'm fairer than the other dark people. If I come under bright lights I look fair I don't know what medicine changed my skin colour as I'm not good at medicine. My toes, feet, neck, Hands and other private parts like me penis are also dark, I've tried the Vitamin C Calamine lotion Multani mitti allovera face wash drank water used sunscreens accordingly these only work to certain extent and I feel these are meant for people who are looking to improve their complexion and not to restore the original skin colour. I actually look like a South Asain. It took some time may be about a month my complexion became dark. I don't have any other symptoms except for skin darkening and don't have any dark spots either Please advice me with the best medicine. Thanks & Regards Emmanuel

Doctor's Answer

Hi Emmanuel, Thank you for the photographs. The areas you mention - hands, feet, penis and scrotum are naturally darker than the rest of the body. The reasons for this are different. The penis and scrotum are darker because they have a very rich blood supply and this makes the skin darker. No treatment is required or indeed effective here. The hands and feet are darker because of tanning and also racial pigmentation (acral darkening). This can be treated with measures I will detail below but pl ...

Hi, You are probably suffering from phimosis,and surgical treatment for phimosis is cicumcission and preputioplasty and circumcission is known as sunithi in hindi(most probably). Circumcission can be done under local anasthesia or if you are scared of surgery then it can also be done under genral anasthesia,the cost of surgery varies from hospital to hospital and kind of hospital facility. The stiches will be removed after one week,and you will be discharged the same day if you get the surgery ...
