I heard that it is not curable so i am bit scared as i don t want to look like this for ever
.-. Hi your clinical history gives the impression that you're having plasma...no one knows the exact etiology but it usually happens because if terminal changes during pregnancy, sometimes BCO of OC pills, thyroid and decrease he....the. .the greatest enemy for this condition is UV rays...so top most priority is UV protection whether u r indoors or outdoors....apply sunscreen with SPF 30 at least 3 to 4 times a day as the effect of sunscreen hardly lasts more than 2 to 4 hours.this pigmentation is quite resistant to treatment so prevention and protection is best especially when it is deeper...it can definitely be reduced with the help of medium depth chemical peels...at lead six sessions...BT again the improvement has to be maintained as well as it's not permeant and recurrence is possible...more of salads and sprout, plenty of water, and at least a single citrus fruit a day...don't take stress...
