Dark Spot, Rosacea, Hyperpigmentation

[Guest What!!!!!]

The aforementioned is slowly but surely becoming visible on my once-beautiful face.   I can't picture myself being gradually ejected from the gay community, where I was once a popular treat.  I put the blame on phony sunscreen, extreme UV conditions, the passage of time (ya!! call it aging and laugh at me), and the polluted island. the tension within. 

 

When I went to Sephora, the salesperson advised me to buy various items.  Such wonder goods are a skunk & useless to me.  But hold on!  People often say that beauty is subjective and that inner beauty is more attractive  appears to be too good to be true.  Shit!!!  I still require assistance. 

 

Anyone in this group who has had success getting rid of the abovementioned? So that I can continue to stand tall and proud in gay community, kindly share. Please?  *Muak!* 

 

Thank you.

Yes I have. It's through something called sylfirm X. It's not cheap. I suggest you research. But that's the treatment I went when I hit the 50 milestone. Wanted to try some beauty thing. And my colleagues are like "how come you look younger."

It sounds like I'll have to shell out a lot of money to travel to the far-off planet Sylfirm X.  My budget small.

Go national skin centre. Their products works better than off the shelf ones which can only work so much because they r not prescribed stuff. If u want quick results just lazer themmoff for a couple of hundred bucks at GP clinics 

[radiusulnar]

Double confirm national skin centre. Good treatment at Subsidized price. but take note clinic not luxe and have to wait and queue. If need fancy or impatient have to pay more at private

[johnnybegood]

how much does it cost at national skin centre? how to book the desired treatment?

 

[radiusulnar]

Can't remember the cost. See polyclinic first to get referral letter.

You can buy Skinoren cream (containing 20% azelaic acid) from Guardian or Watson, dispensed by the pharmacist without needing prescription (OTC drug). 15-20% azelaic acid can effectively treat dark spots, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation. It treats rosacea by decreasing the swelling and redness of the skin. It also decreases dark spots and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase, which is an enzyme that produces melanin in the skin which then leads to hyperpigmentation and dark spots. It is also anti-inflammatory and has antioxidant properties.

Is there any product that can treat white spot?

White spots on skin is actually a kind of fungi. You can try to purchase an anti fungal cream at any pharmacy. It’s inexpensive, costing less than $7. 
 

you have to be persistent in applying. It should be gone in 2 weeks. However, even though the spots are no longer visible, you should continue applying for another week so to ensure no reoccurrence.

hi, i am also facing the same issues. 

Used to have flawless skin, till 2 years ago.

there is a big patch on my left eye now. It spread very fast.

In the past, girls will ask me what product i use.

Now, they ask me what happen to my face.

 

Went Polyclinic before, tried to ask for referral letter. Instead, the young doctor says - use sun block. 

thats it. i was kinda annoyed.

Went to facial like Mary Chia, $200 per session, they said need to see specialist, they cant cure.

Went to 2 skin specialist.

 clinic A - u sign this package, $5,000. if u don't, please pay consultant fees about $100. which is $550 per session. 

Clinic B- just located outside explanade MRT, u sign this package $1500. If u dont, u can use these white tablets for $180, else pay consultant fees. (forgot how much).

Why clinic A and B is so much difference?!?!?

 

Now, i also dunno what to do. 

See alot in tiktok about those asthetic clinic at $100 per session. honestly i don't mind if it works.

anyone can recommend or himself is a specialist.....

Some patches are deep down into the derma you can help.  The only topical is vitamin C serum from Melano, those golden tube type. It helps to dilute the coloration of the patches.  Thereafter, you can conceal it with makeup BB cream to look flawless.  Don't waste money on those claim to be "specialist".  Many old uncles have been cheated of their savings by those "consultants".  They are out to cheat ignorant people.

I search melano. They have 2 types. 1 is anti-spot; another is brighten. Which one?

Chose the one with golden tube (on the left picture).  It has several Vitamin C elements which is potent enough to penetrate into the skin to lighten your red spots within 2 weeks.  Use it once a day or twice depending on your condition.   Thereafter, continue to use it as maintenance.   The one on the right (silver tube) is not strong.   Both prices about the same  (less than $20 I think), so I suggest you choose the gold tube one.

Just try, no harm for a small investment.  Even if your dark spot no longer curable, it helps to prevent them from spreading.  Vitamin C serum has good property to rejuvenate, repair and rebuild your dead cells at derma level. It is 2nd best to Tretinoin product and not sensitive to your skin.

I use the silver tube instead as the gold tube contains citrus (grapefruit and lemon) extract. Citrus does not belong in skincare, according to this dermatologist:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFtDGZpmCcc&t=206s

You should see them on Watson wesbite. Not sure about other pharmcies  Try to avoid getting them from online Lazada or Shoppee, there are many counterfeit, look alike,  skin products  shipped from CHINA.

If you are an older gentlemen, the dark spot on your face is most likely melasma. If you are a younger man, the dark on your face is mostly likely hyperpigmentation caused by acne scars. 
 

The fastest and most efficient way to lighten melasma and acne scars are lasers which could only be performed by doctors (ie, aesthetic doctors or dermatologist). I usually go to the latter.
There are many types of laser, I find CO2 Fractional Lasers to be the most effective. You can see drastic results after 1 session. The cons are downtime and cost. Down time could be 4-5 days. Cost is around $500-$600. Don’t bother with expensive product like SKII or SkinCeutical, they are more for maintenance which you could use AFTER the laser sessions. 

Care to share where u go for the laser? Can pvt me.

I got it from shoppee cos cheaper. 

[Guest Tried n Tested]

The serum works for me after one month of uses, lightened my dark patchy area and makes me feel like it no longer there.  Will continue to apply as my regular night regime.

Trust me, no products work. Even powerful hydroquinone and chemical peel tca do not work. Just learn to live with it

Is there any product for darken acne scar for back acne?

To stop or reduce back acnes, try Castile soap (any brand), gentle yet powerful to remove excess oil and dead skin built up. My back acne has improved so much after I started using this type of soap.

 

To lighten scars, try products with retinoids. But it’ll take some time, so need to be patient.

[karrsenpravyugol]

Hey, I totally understand how frustrating it can be when skin imperfections start creeping in. It's like they have a mind of their own, right? I've been curious about treatments too, especially after reading about Pico Laser in The Complete Guide. It sounds like it could really help with those issues. And underarm whitening treatment? That's something I hadn't considered before, but now I'm intrigued. It's great to connect with others who are exploring skincare options. V Medical Aesthetics seems like they have some promising solutions! We're all in this together!

Have a bit discussion to see how far it goes.

 

Only Vit A is proven clinically to improve wrinkles (Moderate decrease), hyperpigmentation and skin quality (small decrease)

 

Vit C is unstable and oxidse quickly, render it relatively low effective.

Also beware of 3 things in Melano Vit 😄

1. Contains Fragrance

2. Not transparent with Vit C concentration

3. Contains Vit E

Be careful for sensitive skin, or acne skin.

 

Mentioned: "hydroquinone and chemical peel"

Yes stay out of products with these above

 

Everything u start to buy for face needs to be non-comedogenic, fragrance free, allergy test, alcohol free, oil free, silicone free

Which you can get from skin doc or aesthetic doc or brands that are transparent with the above ethnics.

Thanks. Where to buy Vit A?

https://melanocc.com.my/product/vitamin-c-brightening-essence-2/
https://melanocc.com.my/product/vitamin-c-premium-essence/

i have using these 2 for quite some time now. I did notice slight lightening effect. Do I need to be worried?

[fbttop]

Thanks. Where to buy Vit A?
 

Retinol is topical Vit A in a way.

If you have moderate acne scar and wrinkle, get it from pharmacy instead. With the higher concentrate and it may feel burning sensation for some. 

But Vit A treatment can only best apply before sleep, and needs sun protection everyday as your skin get burns even easier.

So slap on SPF 50++++ before u leave the house.

 

 

I mean if you been using Melano sometime, and not getting redness, dryness, irritate then why not?

It has alcohol , caster oil (use for hair) and fragrance which may be not for sensitive or acne skin.

 

it states 100% Pure Vit C (Absorbic Acid) which is marketing tactic. 

Even 100% Absorbic acid gets oxidise quickly..maybe its the vit E that's helping instead.. haha

 

I haven't use this Melano , but also advice to steer clear of Garnier Vit C products.

[Guest Gay People]

Instead of slapping product on your face, why not cultivate your own attitude and spend your money on healthy eating habbit?  Once the root of your problem is solved, beauty will surfaced naturally.

My Rosacea started in 13-8-2006.

Went to N.U.H.

 

 

DR ELLIE CHOI, 

A dermatologist, 

Was sweet/sweet to me, 

She looked at my skin, 

She looked into my eyes, 

She saved me $1000 with this advice:

 

 

 

"Sir, Soolantra & Rozex is manufactured in USA. i need u to accept & understand, in Dermatology, 99.9% of creams are/are gonna be expensive!!!!!!!!!!!" 

 

 

 

 

Thank u Dr E. CHOI,
