Face darker than my body

2017-12-31 11:10:06
Hi, My face is really darker than my body. It makes me so uncomfortable. I’ve had acne in the past and still have breakouts from time to time. My dermatologist told me that I should accept that it’s the way my skin is! But, I’m not okay with this caus i wasn’t born with that skin condition. I’m sure its related to sun damage. he recommended that I use skinoren (azelaic acid) as hydroquinone is prohibited here in France. But I feel like he was just trying to get rid of me. What can I do please?

There are many reasons why your skin would turn dark or you may get pigmentation. Sun tan, overweight, pigmentation disorders like acanthosis nigricans or melasma, nutritional deficiency etc are some conditions. Unless someone examines you, we cannot know the cause. Unless we find out the cause it is difficult and pointless to treat. Please call me or send photos with detailed history using online consult option for examination and proper treatment. ,
