Nevertheless, you can send a picture to my email address, for a clearer view. Its opeyemi.omezie@gmail.com

Good day R n V. God bless you for the work you are doing here.
Please have been using shea butter for some time now, and its wonderful on my skin(my skin feels like dat of a baby.am not exergerating, everybody say so). But it's causing breakout on my face.I use 2 have a pimple free face, but I can't say that now. Let me say I have a very oily face, and I exfoliate twice a week.
Secondly, my sister started using shea butter, because she saw the wonders on my skin. But it's making her dark. She's fair in complexion, but she's almost my colour now. We all use dudu osun or black soap. Please help

Hello R and V,
I used steroid for my face without knowing the implication (skineal, funbact A and epiderm). It almost damaged my skin. it cleared the acne but I later had a rebound. I used sebamed which helped for while even though it was slow in action. I later did a facial treatment in a spa in Enugu. The acne has reduced very well. It just comes out sparingly.
My problem is the dark black spots. It has persisted for a very long time. Its almost like an indelible mark. My face is now darker than everyother part of my body and its so dull in appearance. I've seen what you recommended for others but I don't know how to get them in Enugu. I'm currently using Neutrogena oil free cleanser and the triple action toner. Do you think that will help me? Can you suggest something better for me. The problem is that there are many products in the market with promising labels. Can you specially suggest the product that can help me. Thank you

Hi There,

Sheabutter is very good for the skin because of its high moisturising and healing components. However, I would not advise it for someone who has a comedogenic skin (Skin that breaks out easily). It clogs the pores leading to various breakout activity. I would suggest you leave it out from your facial skin care routine, and just go for non-comedgoenic moisturisers. If it does not cause any breakout activity on your body, then it should just be fine.

Now, just because something works for person A, does not mean it would work in the same way for person B. Your sister should try to get what fits her skin type. To effectively lighten her skin, she needs basically three things; 1. A good exfoliator, 2. a safe lightening cream, 3. A good sunscreen

The Exfoliation removes the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, thereby leaving your skin fresh and supple enough for the actives in the lightening cream to work effectively. Avoid bleaching creams containing hydroquinone, mecury and steroids. They my work fantastically now, but years down the line, you may regret your action, as you may begin to develop onchronosis(That blue black discoloration on the skin of bleached people) or discolorations of your fingernails.

For faster results, you may get a series of chemical peels done, or buy body peel products, like Bion's 20% Glycolic Acid Cream, and then use safe lightening creams like Otentika etc.

Lastly, and most importantly, she needs to get a sunscreen to protect her from the damaging effects of the sun

This should help you greatly.

Hi doc,thanks for all the advice you've been giving,it's helped me a lot. My problem now is that when I was younger I had naively used bleaching creams containing hydroquinone. Now I'm fair but my knuckles are copiously dark. Could you please recommend an oil or something that I can used to lighten just my knuckles,thanks!

Hi There,

However, Below is a general advice for acne sufferers who also have the transient PIH

1.Wash your face twice a day with a acne specific facial cleanser e.g Bions' Antibacterial Cleanser (Pimples is primarily caused by a bacteria, so you need an antibacterial wash to reduce the colony on your skin). Please do not scrub your face, but wash it lightly
2. Use a facial scrub twice a week
3. Get a good Acne specific poultice(E.g, Bion's Green Tea Clay Poultice - Pulls the infection up out of the skin to be flushed out) and dab only on the spots at night or Use Neo-Medrol, if they are located majorly around the chin area.
5. Have a Medicated-Anti-acne facial once a month to have all of the lesions extracted.
6. Have Facial peel done to remove all the dark pots on your face.
7. Try to drink at least 4 litres of water/day and some green tea for a system detoxification for the reoccuring acne

I suggest you treat the reoccuring acne first before dealing with the spotting.

I think this would help a great deal.

Hi There,

The best product that I can prescribe for dark knuckles and toes is Bion 20% Glycolic Acid cream. It would help shed off the pile up of the dead skin cells on this areas.

Otherwise, you could try a series of chemical peels.

Hi R and V

Please I have a very dry skin(my hand and leg)what do u suggest I do

Cheatmessiah: 18, peeling,patches and marks

Hi There,

Try to use sheabutter on these patches. It would soften them, and assist with quick fall-off. Better still, if you can get Bion 20% Calcium Capsule for it. It would resolve this peeling problem.

adebabs21: Hi R and V

Hi There,

Sheabutter is very good for dry skin. Or get products that are designated for 'dry skin' only.

Hi There,

Try getting Nizoral treatment cream for the whitish eczema. As per the body acne, you need to get something specific for that. I know about Bion's Naturally Clean Body wash designated for combating body acne. I have personally used this product for body acne too. Or you could try Avon's body wash for acne.

I always recommend Bion products though, because the range is formulated by a dermatologist and a biochemist in the US. Being a biochemist myself, I understand the basic multi-reaction pathways that their products target.

This should help you greatly.
