I'm dealing with post-inflammatory hypopigmentation and was wondering if tacrolimus 0.1 is a safe option for treating it? I'm worried if it really helps with getting rid of the depigmented skin and if it's okay to use for conditions that aren't vitiligo. Any insights would be really appreciated!

Tacrolimus 0.1% ointment can be used to treat post inflammatory hypopigmentation. It helps to restore skin color by promoting melanin production. It is also safe to use in non-vitiligo conditions such as post inflammatory hypopigmentation. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer of tacrolimus ointment to the affected area twice daily.

View allMy face seems a lot darker compared to my chest and stomach, and I'm usually on the fairer side. I've been walking around 4 km every day to college, sometimes in the sun, and I'm wondering if this is a tan. How can I get my usual skin tone back? Also, I have quite a few dark pimple marks on my face. Are there any home remedies I can try?

I'm really grateful for your helpful response last time. I'm happy with the service you provide for patients. I've got another question, though. My skin texture isn't great there's some acne left even though I'm on medication and seeing a dermatologist. Theres also some pigmentation. My previous dermatologist gave me SabiGlow cream for skin lightening and to help with the pigmentation. Do you think this will help lighten my skin? I've got a wheatish skin tone, and Im curious if it's safe to use. I also stopped using propyzole nf cream after reading your review. You suggested Cetaphil DAM cream, but my skin is oily. It gets a bit dry right after washing, but gets oily again soon after. Can I still use Cetaphil DAM cream with my oily skin?
Sabi-Glow cream can be effective for lightening pigmentation and improving skin texture, but make sure you use it under the guidance of your dermatologist and always wear sunscreen. For your oily skin, you may want to adjust your moisturizer. Cetaphil DAM could be too heavy, but you can try using a smaller amount or consider switching to a lighter moisturizer like Cetaphil oil-free or a gel-based option.
