Question 1

Accepted Answer

Its the strongest: retinoid available. And will help lighten and tighten your skin. BUt it is not a bleach, so while it will help scars (but takes 6 months), you may need to add a lightening agent for dark spots or laser

Question 2

i have acne and dark spots on my face.i tried lemon to remove dark spots.i am using neutrogena acne free facewash.how to remove pimples and darkspots?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: I'm sorry you were misled by the foolish business with the lemon, which is worthless. You're a grown man and need to take charge of your acne. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated (try 5% 2x/day) hasn't cleared the pimples in 2 weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength rx. The post-inflammatory pigment fades on its on after several weeks, or try hydroquinone sparingly.

Question 3

what is the safest and effective way to remove dark spots on the face's surface and what are the preventive measures to be taken to avoid the same?

Accepted Answer

Laser or bleaching c: Brown spots of the face can be treated by lasers, bleaching creams or chemical peels. To prevent these spots from reforming or developing new ones the most important thing is to use sunscreen on a daily basis and wear broad brimmed hat.

Question 4

See a dermatologist: Your treatment will not work. Post-inflammatory acne pigmentation   will  improve with tretinoin  cream + hydroquinone. Control of the acne is important. See a skin dr.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Hydroquinone: There are a variety of over the counter products that contain a bleaching agent called hydroquinone.  My favorite is one called ambi that is usually around $10-15.  Apply it 1-2 times daily for 2 months.  If that does not lighten the spots up, you should stop using it and see a dermatologist for other options.

Question 9

how to do remove dark spot from face?

Accepted Answer

Dermatologists help.: Without any more details other than a 'dark spot', the best advice would be to visit a dermatologist (skin doctor).
