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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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've been using this rejuglow vitamin C serum for the last couple of months, and it really helped my skin glow. But out of nowhere, in the past 10 days, I'm noticing that my skin looks a bit brownish. I don't spend a lot of time in the sun, so I'm puzzled about what could be causing this change. Any ideas?
