What are the causes and best treatment for brown facial pigmentation in Singapore?

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

Pigmentations are common skin problems especially in the Asian skin types, and they can be treated well.

For your case, I would recommend stopping further laser treatments for the time being since there are already associated white spots developing with your brown mark.

Next, let an experienced doctor diagnose what exactly is that stubborn brown mark on your face. Is it solar lentigo, freckles, or something else? From there, the doctor should be able to advise you on the most appropriate treatments and prevention measures.

Depending on the type and severity of pigmentations, topical creams with sun protection measures alone can be sufficient to treat the pigmentations, so you may not even need laser treatments.

I have actually included photos of the various types of pigmentations commonly seen in my clinical practice. You can read more about them in my "Ultimate Guide to Pigmentation Treatment in Singapore".

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
