Dark forehead
Since my teenage started , there were lots of pimples appearing on the forehead region . I also used to travel everyday without sunscreen . Now it looks too dark compared to the rest of my face. My face has combination type skin where forehead region is oily and rest is normal. I have tried lots of skin whitening and tan removing products but been unsuccessful. I also consulted a dermatologist but did not get good results. Please help me with your valuable suggestions and solutions.

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.

Hi,
Post acne pigmentation and uneven skin tone can be treated with laser therapy and few combination peels. Ointments have limited effect only.
