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 ...

I am 38 years of age and never had any issues with acne growing up. At age 35 I started experiencing a lot of acne on the lower cheek and chin, pustular type acne under the skin that would last for a weeks. What could be causing this at my age?

Hello, That would depend on whether you're a man or woman. For women hormonal changes are common the mid-thirties and this is amongst the commonest triggers for acne. There is also another type of acne called 'Adult Onset Acne' and this is seen in both men and women. This has no well defined cause but recent location change to a more polluted city, make-up use, comedogenic personal care products, dietary factors and oral medications can all be responsible. Please note that the information I ha ...

Hello, That would depend on whether you are a man or woman. Women are much more prone to what is known as 'Adult Onset Acne' - like you have have - and the reason for this is commonly hormonal changes in the body. After hormonal testing this kind of acne is often best managed with oral contraceptive or anti-androgen pills.

I have a sever acne pimples on my upper arms and back, so to treat it i was prescribed to use persol forte cream.I am using it since 1 month and have caused skin darkning in this areas,can u suggest me wether i should continue using it or stop its use.And i wanted to know that would this dark skin get peeled off after i stop using it and in how much time!!

Hello, Well Persol Forte cream works quite well for Body Acne. It causes mild skin darkening and flaking but this usually corrects in a few days time. Instead of using it on a daily basis I would suggest using it only when you have active pimples - for a few days till they clear. Use a 2.5 or 5% Benzoyl Peroxide soap or body wash while bathing on a daily basis to prevent new pimples. This should be lathered onto the body, left on for 5-10 minutes and then washed off. Please note that the infor ...
