Thank you doctor,
When you say oral vitamin A you mean bet carotene pills? and how many mg a day? I'm on vacation for a couple of months and can't see a doctor at the moment.
And it will not give me a yellowish tone?
Hello,
Vitamin A has been thought to even out the skin as it has the ability to treat blotchy skin resulting from slight discolorations in the pigment. Take oral vitamin A tablets only under a doctor’s guidance and instead use a combination of alpha and beta hydroxy acids (including glycolic acid), vitamin A, vitamin C, and other ingredients to exfoliate the skin.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Thank you for your reply doctor.
As I previously mentioned I have visited the doctor and the diagnose was hyper pigmentation.
Along the creams I'm using I take stresstabs with zinc.
I don't know how and will this problem end. It uncomfortable to have uneven skin tone. I don't know when am I supposed to see results of those creams I'm using.
Also doctor I've read that vitamin A is good for skin discoloration. I just bought a beta carotene pills (9.2 mg per pill, one pill a day)
But now I'm worried that it will make my skin darker!
Should I take them?
Hello,
For such discoloration, the possibilities of pityriasis versicolor of arms and trunk, acanthosis nigricans, melasma face and hyperpigmentation of the skin needs to be ruled out. Please get it examined from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. Biopsy skin may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
