Dark Skin
 Priya asks,
I'm 26 years old and have dark underarms. My knees and elbows are darker too. I had a history of polycystic ovaries that is in control now. I've bought Melalite 15 (Hydroquinone 2%). Is it safe to use this cream for curing underarms, also how do I lighten my dark knees and elbows?
 Dear Priya,
Darkness in the underarms occurs usually in case of hormonal imbalance. Frictional areas like underarms tends to be more pigmented or darker and hence unfortunately don't respond well to skin lightening creams. Using dusting powder during the day will help. If you are over-weight, reducing weight will help. Melalite 15 cream is a bleaching agent, can be used for maximum 15-30 days only.
Prepare a scrub of milk cream, lemon juice and sugar and scrub the dark areas twice a week. Bleaching once a month would also help.
Clean-up For Dull Skin
Gayatri Kurup asks,
My skin looks quite dull, I have oily skin. I go for facials and clean-up once a month but still no use. Could you please suggest me something as I have been getting marriage proposals.
Dear Gayatri Kurup,
Dullness on the skin occurs in case of hormonal imbalance, which could be due to PCOD. In PCOD male hormone becomes dominant which suppresses the effect of female hormone. Consult a dermatologist to rule out this. Wash your face with a face wash meant for oily skin 2-3 times a day depending on the oiliness. Use a good sun block (SPF 30 or above) 3-4 times a day. There are varieties of treatments like microdermabrasion and fruit acid peels. 4-6 sittings are required at an interval of 4-6 weeks to get the desired results. They act by peeling the top layers of skin and thus give a lightening effect. You can use creams containing Vitamin C, Kojic Acid, Hydroquinone at night to get the lightening effect.
