Discoloration info!

I just consulted with a dermatologist on the issue of PE related discolorations, and he said that for the more serious cases… 4-6 months of NO PE would allow sufficient time in most cases for the discoloration to fade about 90%… and in the meantime the best thing to use would be (vita-k cream) for scars and bruises. Things such as hydroquinone and dermacure, and types of melanin inhibitors will do virtually NO good on these types of “internal bruises”.

Looks like im going to have to take quite a while off, because my discoloration has gone further than I would like. I hope this offers a sense of comfort to those with severe discoloration ; )

Raptor,

Thanks for the info.

Off subject a bit: So you were totally up front with the Dr about PE? I’m suffering from a bit of morbid curiosity - can you tell us how that conversation went?

Do you know where we can find vita-k cream? Is it prescription only?

Do you mean Vitimin K? I used a under eye dark circle remover that lightened my spots during my part years. I bought it at the local drug store in the cosmetics/facial care isle of the store. So no script was needed from a doctor.

are you in the US? can get it very easily at any drug store, like Sav-Ons, Walgreens. Look at the facial product section, next to oil of olay and shit.

Thanks Raptor for the info!

I just bought this http://www.walg reens.com/store … 0&id=prod350899 . I will see if it works for my discoloration and report back.

Just bought mine also will report if it works

Will be very interesting to see if you get any results from it!

It’s my opinion that isotretinoin (Retin-A active ingredient) would help a lot with discoloration. You can order cremes with it from ebay. Isotretinoin drastically accelerates the turnover rate of your skin cells.

When we are on that subject, another one to try is “Arnica massage oil” from Weleda.

My discoloration, mainly from clamping, has been getting better while using it.

I got the Vita-K Cream with Arnica we will see I have been using it for a week now and some spots have gotten a tad lighter so we will see

What’s the exact name of this to look for in the store?
And what store?
I need some myself.

I bought mine from CVS and the name is Vita-K with Arnica. They have a few different ones but the Arnica is supposed to help with bruises specifically
