Question

I'm really concerned about why my face is noticeably darker than the rest of my fair-skinned body. Could sun damage be the cause, and if so, is there a way to lighten my face back to match my body color? I've tried Cosmelan Treatment a couple of years ago, and it helped at first, but now my face is dark again. What can I do about this?

Use SPF 30 sunscreen on all exposed parts of the skin. Use dermal skin peels and dermatologist recommended skin lightening agents. Get evaluated by a qualified dermatologist to rule out other causes of pigmentation and need for chemical peels or micro dermabrasion. Maintain a healthy diet containing lots of Vitamin C and green leafy vegetables. Accompany this with about 150 minutes of physical activity each week.

I'm really worried because even after getting laser treatment, my warts keep coming back and they're spreading. My doctor just prescribed imiquad, and I've been using it for two weeks, but there's no improvement. Is there something else I can do to stop this?
