Hi there! I had a CO2 fractional laser procedure for hypertrophic scars on the face (chin area and corner of the mouth - upper jaw). I am Caucasian, blonde, type II skin, prone to hyperpigmentation (freckles on the face). The hypertrophic scars are from car accident. The procedure hurt - doctor told me she used a high intensity and did multiple passes. My face is very red (2nd degree burn like). What should be the treatment to accelerate healing and minimize potential scarring/hyperpigm?
Hi there. Ive been using hydroquinone on my dark spots for 2 days as prescribed by my dermatologist. However, I applied it over my entire face and it has now left dark patches on my skin. My face is also very red. I am an Indian with a medium skin tone. I am not sure if I should continue using it or not? And any advice on how I should treat the burns caused by the hydroquinone?
I am 20year old girl . I've used this tretinoin hydroquinone cream for a couple of days for my underarms and I had redness and dryness for which I discontinued . But unfortunately, in just one day there was increased brown pigmentation(more than before).
Am used melacare cream since 2,3 weeks.that time am not having skin problem.and my face become fair..since now a daysmy face some skin problem.especially near eyes&around mouth little redness&burning after wash.my face very dry.nowam stop in melacare since 1 day.
I used ambi fade cream which has 2% hydronnique and I left it over night. When I woke up I had redness all over my face and it has almost been two weeks now and the redness has subsided but I still have some patches of redness around my face. Will this ever go away???? I'm so scared !!
resolved infected umbilicus (superficial skin) started in November For almost a month, the patch of skin which was raw from infection still doesnt look like the surrounding skin. It has a dark pink/red undertone and sometimes almost looks brown. It appears to me there is a tiny circle of skin that isnt growing back on the left side of the umbilicus. Under ambient light the area resembles the whole area of infected skin that became raw in November self dressing with normal saline every day.
