I'm really worried about how much melanin my body seems to be producing lately. It feels like it's getting worse every day. I started using sunscreen, but I'm scared the damage might already be done. How can I prevent and reduce melanin production effectively? Any advice would be really appreciated.

To prevent and reduce the production of melanin in your body, in addition to using sunscreen, you can consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or azelaic acid. These can help lighten dark spots and inhibit melanin production. You can also incorporate vitamin C serums into your skincare routine, as they have brightening properties. Additionally, oral supplements like glutathione or vitamin E may help in reducing melanin production internally. Make sure to consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.

View allI've been using a benzoyl peroxide face wash and applying deriva BPO and CMS gel as my night cream for over two weeks, but I haven't noticed any improvements. Is this normal? Should I be seeing results by now? I'm kind of worried if I'm doing something wrong. Any advice or suggestions?
The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,,
