How to get rid of skin darkening? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Based on your photo, you have a hyper-pigmented macular patch which can be melasma.

To make an accurate diagnosis, I will need clearer photos, find out more about your medical history and do a thorough assessment of the skin-care products that you have been using.

In terms of Pigmentation treatment, you should consider medical-grade pigmentation creams and pigment lasers like picosecond lasers to gradually lighten the hyper-pigmentation. Sun-block is also an important step to prevent worsening of this condition.

Please see a trusted doctor for a consult and treatment! Hope that this helps!

Warmest regards,

Dr Justin Boey
