Im really hoping to lighten my skin by about three shades permanently. Is that even possible? And do chemical peels actually help with skin whitening? If so, which one should I consider?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Chemical peels can help in skin whitening by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin. One of the best chemical peels for skin whitening is the Glycolic Acid peel. It is effective in reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone. The recommended dosage for Glycolic Acid peel is usually 20-70%, depending on your skin type and the severity of pigmentation. It is important to consult with a dermatologist before undergoing any chemical peel treatment to determine the most suitable option for your skin."

I'm really worried about my wife's stretch marks on her inner thighs. She's been using Stretchrid cream recommended by a dermatologist, but its only shown a little improvement. She took an Unwanted 72 contraceptive pill in September 2019, and she's noticed a small weight gain recently, which might be linked to the stretch marks. Can you suggest the right treatment or medication for this?
Retinoids can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by promoting collagen production and increasing skin cell turnover. She can try using Retino-A cream 0.05% once daily at night on the affected areas. In addition to topical treatments, she can also consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support skin health and elasticity. I recommend taking Evion 400mg capsule once daily after a meal. It's important to continue using these medications consistently and be patient, as it may take some time to see significant improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks.

I've been working as an assistant professor at an engineering college, and I've been using a skin cream called My Fair for about two months. But just last week, I went to my village and spent a lot of time working under the sun in the fields. This made my skin turn extremely dark. My friend, who recommended the cream, said I should have used sunscreen when going out. Thankfully, my skin's back to normal with the same cream, but I'm really troubled by what happened. Can you give me some advice on how to prevent this in the future and how to deal with this dependency on the cream? Id really appreciate some guidance.
