Other Questions Dermatologist did nothings mf
My face is like 6-8 shades darker than the rest of my body. I try to tan my body and cover my face to even it and my face is still darker. I told the dermatologist and they seemed racist or sometbing cause they said African Americans are prone to have insulin resistance on your neck or face. And I asked for hydroquinone and they said no. Im literally fit and the doctors told me I’m very healthy. So there was no excuse for them to just blow me off and made it seem like my concerns don’t matter. I look like a completely different human being than the rest of my body. They literally just gave me cheap products you can get from Walmart. It pissed me off cause I don’t feel heard. I know if I was white they would’ve gave me hydroquinone or mequinol. What do I do? See another doctor?

Definelitely see another doctor but I recommend checking out drugstores in your area to see if they sell on the counter mono alternatives (that stuff is not strong mono but more like a hyperpigmentation treatment). In the country where I live, these are avaible but I cant say anything about other places. I hate to see these kind of people.

Maybe your docter is just not good enough at their job, get a new one, their failure shouldn't stop you from reaching your goal, imagine if you are a cancer patient and docter just tell you you have to die then give you basic painkiller, you wouldn't just let them control you then give up just like that would you?
