Patient's question:
After ectopic pregnancy surgery for half a month, spots have already started to appear on my face, and there are more and more of them. The old spots are also getting darker. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
When the cause is removed, hyperpigmentation usually gradually fades, but it does not disappear immediately in the short term. It is important to prevent further exposure to ultraviolet light. When going out, it is best to wear a sun hat and sunglasses, and apply sunscreen and sun essence externally. Pay attention to proper nutritional balance and appropriately supplement with vitamins A, C, E, and trace elements such as zinc. Under the guidance of a doctor, some topical and oral medications can be used. Topical medications include hydroquinone cream, kojic acid cream, licorice cream, tretinoin cream, and 2-hydroxy acid preparations. Oral high-dose vitamin C has a certain effect on treating hyperpigmentation. Ectopic pregnancy is a very serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
