I'm concerned because I've had dark skin and hyperpigmentation around my chin for a long time. Can you recommend any solutions or treatments that might help?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To address hyperpigmentation around your chin, start by incorporating sunscreen and targeted treatments like vitamin C or niacinamide into your daily routine. Exfoliation with AHAs or BHAs can also help, and consider adding a retinoid to speed up skin renewal. If needed, consult a dermatologist for more advanced treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy.

I've been using glocin gel as prescribed for about a month now, applying it twice daily. I'm just wondering if I should keep using it for another month or if it's okay to stop at this point. What do you suggest?
As you have been using Glocin gel for almost one month, it is important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider regarding the duration of treatment. In general, for conditions like acne, it is common to continue using topical treatments like Glocin gel for at least 8-12 weeks to see optimal results. However, since individual cases may vary, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider to determine if you should continue using the gel for another month or if it is appropriate to stop at this time.
