I have pigmentation on my leg due to a burn. I am currently using Glyco 12 Cream on my face for pigmentation. Can I use it on my leg as well, or should I use something else? Can I also use a soap with pigmentation-removing properties?
Dr S Aneela

You can use Glyco 12 Cream on the pigmentation on your leg, as it contains glycolic acid, which may help lighten dark spots. However, the skin on your legs is thicker than on your face and may respond differently, so it is important to perform a patch test first to ensure there is no irritation. You may also use a soap containing ingredients such as kojic acid, niacinamide, or vitamin C, but only after the burn has completely healed. These soaps can be harsh on sensitive or healing skin, so it is safer to use a gentle, fragrance-free soap. For the best results and safety, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist who can recommend the most suitable treatment for your skin.
My face is tanning. Can you suggest a good soap?
Dr S Aneela

Using a gentle soap made for daily use, not too harsh, can help keep your skin clean and reduce tanning. Choose one meant for sensitive or normal skin and wash your face twice a day. Also, use sunscreen to protect your skin from further tanning.
Can Ethiglo Soap be used on the face? And are there any side effects for oily skin?
Dr Bayyarapu Kumar
M Pharmacy
Ethiglo Soap contains Kojic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Glycerine, Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂), EDTA, and Perfume. These ingredients help cleanse the skin, remove excess oil, and improve brightness. However, the label mentions only external use and does not specify whether it is suitable for facial application. Therefore, it is best to consult a dermatologist before using it on the face, especially if you have specific skin conditions or sensitivities. For oily skin, its exfoliating and brightening ingredients may help control excess oil, but frequent or prolonged use can lead to dryness or disturb the skin’s natural balance. It is advisable to use it cautiously and follow with a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser.
