Pinquin Forte Ointment 1's

Pinquin Forte Ointment treats melasma (dark brown patch on skin) and hyperpigmentation. It helps clear the complexion, acne scars, and photoaging (premature skin ageing caused by repeated exposure to UV radiation). Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin. Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discoloured patches on your skin. Dark spots occur when some skin areas start producing more melanin (a natural pigment that gives colour to eyes, hair and skin), ranging from light to dark brown.

Pinquin Forte Ointment contains Hydroquinone (skin lightening or bleaching agent), which decreases the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) responsible for darkening the skin.

Pinquin Forte Ointment is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth, and nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, rinse with water immediately. Do not use Pinquin Forte Ointment on sunburned, windburned, dry, or irritated skin. Common side effects of Pinquin Forte Ointment include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, mild itching, and skin irritation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your physician.

Avoid using Pinquin Forte Ointment if allergic to it. Pinquin Forte Ointment can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight; hence, always use sunscreen and protective clothing before you step outdoors.

• Include protein-rich foods such as yoghurt, chicken and eggs in your diet, as there is a loss of protein through burn wounds and the breakdown of muscles to produce extra energy for the healing process. The additional protein is required to rebuild lost muscle.
• Add more carbohydrates to your diet, such as potatoes, beans, and rice, as glucose in carbohydrates is essential for healing.
• Eat foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid), such as apples, cherries, broccoli, spinach, and blueberries.
• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and avoid drinking sugary beverages.
• Always wear full clothes or wear sun protection before going under the sun; it will protect your skin from sun damage.
• Please do not use harsh products on your skin as they damage it.
• Keep your skin moisturized to avoid dry skin.

• Consult your dermatologist if you do not notice any improvement after 2-3 months of treatment with Pinquin Forte Ointment.

Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin. This darkening of skin occurs when an excess of melanin (hormone), the brown pigment that produces normal skin colour, forms deposits in the skin.

Melasma: It is also known as chloasma, a common skin condition that causes brown patches on the face. The discoloured (grey-brown) patches occur mostly on the forehead, chin, nose and cheeks. Melasma may be caused by sun exposure, hormone therapy, pregnancy, birth control pills, thyroid or even stress. It is more common in women than in men. It may occur in pregnant women, due to hormonal changes during pregnancy and is called a ‘mask of pregnancy’ and fades away after pregnancy on its own or after stopping the usage of contraceptive pills

Dark spots occur when some skin areas start producing more melanin(a natural pigment that gives colour to eyes, hair, and skin), which can range from light to dark brown.
