Oily skin

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

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 ...

Brevoxyl Creamy Face Wash is my preferred brand. Epiduo or Deriva-BPO are good brands for the night gel and Aziderm 10% cream a good brand for the day cream. Rivela SPF 50 for normal skin and Sungrace Total SPF 30 for oily skin are good sunscreens. Please note that the night gel can cause irritation and hence must be used as very thin layer and only under the supervision of a dermatologist in person. Regards. ...

Dear Mansoor! As you have oily skin, creams should not be used because they further blocks the openings of oil glands.this leads to oil to stagnate beneath the skin .so pimples do not go.So it is always better not to use any kind of creams.In order to get rid of this problem follow my suggestions mentioned here. Take steam with powders of tulasi,neem,turmeric one TSP each.Do every alternate day.In addition to this take Lodhra and Raktachandan powders mix in equal ratio then, make a paste o ...

My face,neck and arms are pigmented since the last two years I consulted many doctors but the real problem with my skin has been detected recently. The doctors say that it is the LPP skin problem and they have tested eleven allergy patches on my skin but the skin wasn't allergic to any of them. I have tried using a number of skin whitening creams and medicines but none of them has had a positive result on my skin. Please prescribe the best treatment for my skin.

Body Pigmentation is very easy to treat. While topical creams with alpha hydroxyl acids or topical retinoids are important to start the process and prime the skin, treatments such as metabolic peels, Diamond Microdermabrasion and lasers like QHarmony or Renew are ideal for eradicating it entirely. And make sure to wear your sunscreen no matter what or the pigmentation can come back! But if it has been suggested that you have LPP, its best if you consult a dermatologist who can guide you and star ...

Sir i've vry oily n acne prone skin and as i've vry fair complexion brown pigmentation on face has occured inspite of sunscreen application.I've undergone photofacial n chemical peeling but my pigmentation has increased. plz prescribe me treatment for hyperpigmentation n gel based sunscreen for super oily skin (hv used la shield, ansolar, rivela n so many sunscreens but all make skin vry oily). Plz suggest me good facewash n medicated serum nd night cream for my oily acne skin and for skin rejuvenation. Thanks

Dear Sheenu,with oily and acne prone skin, you should be using a face wash containing salicylic acid in it at least twice a day. For a sunscreen, look for gel based applications like Suncote gel, sunprotek or Zscreen that will protect you while not making your skin greasy. Make sure you apply a large amount (at least 2 tablespoons) whether you are indoors or outdoors at least twice a day. For hyperpigmentation, you should consider lasers like Renew Plus or Renew for skin toning that will gent ...

Hello sir. I want to use safriderm skin cream for brighter skin. My skin is oily and i have pimples and acne scars on my face. Can i use this cream? or any other cream u suggest for brighter skin and for acne scars?

Hello, so I assume you mean sofradex cream - I would not recommend this as this is a topical steroid. Topical steroids will typically worsen your skin by increasing acne and thinning it while making it more sensitive. Additionally, there is no cream that can remove acne scars. However, you can use a cream containing retinol to improve them slightly. It will also give your skin a bit of a glow over time. ...
