I'm really concerned about the melanin on my face. I'm looking for a way to reduce it without dealing with side effects. Are there any creams or tablets that can permanently get rid of melanin?

There is no getting rid of melanin completely in a short span of time.One should take necessary precautions like using good amount of sunscreen while going out and covering your face properly with scarf and so on.There are skin whitening treatments which you can try.Consult a dermatologist for the same.

View allI'm a 50-year-old guy and recently I've noticed this strange fungal skin infection on my face. Is this something rare? What's the best way to treat it? Do I need to use a cream or are oral medications necessary as well?

I'm currently using Melgain Lotion at night and Pacroma Cream in the morning for my vitiligo, but I haven't seen any improvement in the pigmentation. I'm a bit worried and wondering if this is the right treatment plan. Is there something else I should be doing?
Vitiligo can be challenging to treat, and it's great that you're seeking a second opinion. Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream 1. Melgain Lotion: Contains a combination of melatonin, vitamins, and antioxidants, which may help promote repigmentation. 2. Pacroma Cream: Contains pimecrolimus, a topical immunomodulator that may help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation. Evaluating the Treatment While Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream may be beneficial for vitiligo, it's essential to consider the following: 1. Treatment duration: Have you been using these creams for a sufficient amount of time (at least 3-6 months)? 2. Consistency and application: Are you applying the creams consistently, as directed, and covering the entire affected area? 3. Combination therapy: Have you considered combining these creams with other treatments, such as phototherapy, corticosteroids, or vitamin supplements? 4. Underlying causes: Are there any underlying causes or triggers for your vitiligo, such as autoimmune disorders, stress, or hormonal imbalances? Alternative Treatment Options If you're not seeing any improvement with Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream, consider discussing the following options with your doctor: 1. Phototherapy: Exposure to specific wavelengths of light, such as narrowband UVB or PUVA, can help stimulate repigmentation. 2. Corticosteroids: Topical or oral corticosteroids can help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation. 3. Vitamin supplements: Certain vitamins, such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, or antioxidants, may help promote repigmentation. 4. Immunomodulatory therapies: Medications that modify the immune system's response, such as tacrolimus or pimecrolimus, may help promote repigmentation.

I've had clear skin for a long time, but recently, I had a bad allergic reaction while I was in another state, and now I'm getting these small white pus-filled bumps on my face. They appear and disappear, but leave these flesh-colored bumps that have been sticking around. It's been almost a year like this, and I've tried doxycycline and various acne medications with no success. I even used Proactiv years ago, and it worked then, but now it just irritates my skin. What do you think could be causing this and is there anything else I can try to get rid of these bumps?
that coul be pemphigous which is a microbial infection,visit your dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
