I have scars on my nose and face. I have tried several creams, including Xtralite Mild Cream, but nothing has worked. Can you help?

Scars, especially older ones, are often challenging to treat effectively with creams alone. The best treatment for permanent facial scars is usually a dermatological procedure, such as chemical peels, microneedling, or laser therapy. You should consult a dermatologist who can assess the type of scars you have and recommend the most suitable procedure for lasting improvement. Avoid experimenting with multiple products at home, as this may worsen irritation or scarring.
How can I treat melasma and pigmentation spots?
Dr. S Aneela

Melasma and pigmentation can usually be managed with topical creams containing a combination of ingredients such as hydroquinone, azelaic acid, or tretinoin. Using a high-factor, broad-spectrum sunscreen daily is essential, as sun exposure may worsen pigmentation. If the spots are persistent or severe, consult a dermatologist to discuss treatments such as chemical peels or laser therapy.
How can I reduce melasma, especially on my nose?
Dr. S Aneela

Melasma often worsens with sun exposure, so the first and most crucial step is to avoid excessive sun exposure and apply a high-factor, broad-spectrum sunscreen to your face every day, especially on your nose. Topical creams containing ingredients such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, or azelaic acid are often prescribed by doctors to help lighten the dark patches. For persistent cases, procedures such as chemical peels or laser therapy may be recommended. Since the nose is very noticeable, it is best to consult a dermatologist for a personalised treatment plan.
