Question
It’s been a year since I had a mole removed from the corner of my eye, and I’m not sure if it’s hyperpigmentation or a spot? I’ve been using a hydroquinone cream for almost two months now, but the color hasn’t lightened; it seems to have darkened instead. What should I do? Please help me, thank you!
Answer
In this case, it should be hyperpigmentation, and it may also be related to an imbalance of hormones in your body. Avoid using stimulating cosmetics, pay attention to facial cleansing, avoid spicy foods, drink more water, increase the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, and exercise appropriately. This condition mainly occurs due to hyperpigmentation left after mole removal. If the time is too long, it may be difficult to remove. You can use aloe vera gel immediately after the mole is removed to reduce hyperpigmentation. If there is no effect, it is recommended to consult with an aesthetic expert.
