Question 3

duac darkend my skin im white tho and now my skin tones patchy it looks like hyperpigmentation which ive never had is the temporary i was thinking maybe its peeling back to my normla skin colour from a burn maybe how can i fix this how long does ?

Accepted Answer

Skin will fix itself: Duac is a combination of clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide. It increases sensitivity to ultraviolet light so you are warned to avoid sun exposure or tanning booths since you're more likely to get a sunburn. 'Common side effects are peeling (but this is partly why it works), burning, and redness. Stop using it and avoid excessive sunlight and your skin will return to normal in a few weeks.

Question 4

what chemical peel is best for clearing up many acne marks/hyper-pigmentation on dark skin?

Accepted Answer

Glycolics are good: Glycolic acid peels are usually gentle enough that you have no real downtime afterward. They are safe for darker skin types and can be great at decreasing the hyperpigmentation that follows inflammation. You will benefit from a series of peels, and they will create a smoother texture, tighter tone, and fresher look for your skin.

Question 5

can hyperpigmentation cause a chemical peel to fade by itself?

Accepted Answer

From a peel?: I wonder if the question is whether hyperpigmentation from a chemical peel can fade without treatment.
Probably some. It can be important to protect the areas from sun or tanning also. Bleaching products, tretinoin, anti-inflammatory creams might help also.

Question 6

what chemical peel is best for post hyperpigmentation scars

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't: I'd let them fade naturally. If these are from acne, simply be sure that your disease is under control -- your physician can help. It's not curable until it remits on its own, but it's always manageable. A chemical peel is more likely to hurt and will probably disappoint -- the pigment is in your dermis, which a peel cannot touch.

Question 7

what chemical acid peel is best for wrinkles and hyperpigmentation?

Accepted Answer

No one best peel: However, it appears that glycolic acid and tca peels are commonly used for these purposes in combination with retinoid therapy.

Question 8

is alpha beta peel can fade away the dark spot cause of liquid nitrogen, sun damaged & hyperpigmentation?

Accepted Answer

Glycolic Acid Peels: These alpha/beta (glycolic acid) peels are superficial chemical peels and remove a few layers of dead skin with each peel.  Sometimes, after several peels (every 4 weeks) the sun spots, freckles, and pigmentation can lighten sufficiently.  You can combine these peels with other topical creams and lighteners to get a better effect.  See a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for help.

Question 9

how do i get rid of post chemical peel hyperpigmentation around my mouth ? peel done 3 weeks ago . 48f.

Accepted Answer

Time: It would be better to let nature take its course. Using more chemicals to lighten the skin may make matters worse. Use a sun screen to avoid adding melanin through sun exposure.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: Maybe both. Either one can sometimes make it darker.Treatment of the acne is paramount.
