I have pigmentation on my face. What medicine or cream should I use?

Facial pigmentation can have various causes, such as melasma, sun damage, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. First, daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) is essential, as UV rays worsen pigmentation. For active treatment, look for over-the-counter creams containing Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Kojic Acid, or Azelaic Acid, which help brighten the skin. For stronger treatments like Hydroquinone or Retinoids, please consult a dermatologist for a personalised prescription. Avoid self-medicating with strong steroid creams, as they can damage your skin. I highly recommend getting a proper diagnosis to choose the safest, most effective treatment for your skin type.
