Hyperpigmentation on arms
I have hyperpigmentation on my upper arms from last 1 2 years and it's getting darker with time . A dermatologist recommended me these products to use twice a day ( I am using these from last 3 weeks)
3. Ilumax skin brightening cream .
2.Epilite 5 % hydroquinone solution.
1.Percos clobestasol propionate and salicyclid acid lotion
(1,2,3 is order of application)
But after using these twice my skin has become irritated & dry .
Please let me know if will these products be effective ? Or should I stop using these as I have heard that topical treatments aren't effective for curing hyperpigmentation and you have to undergo laser treatments for the same .

If after applying you feel the irritation then you should stop using those products. There are a lot of different products available in the market for pigmentation. There are also certain in clinic treatments that can be done for pigmentation.
Please do an online consultation for better assessment
